How to Buy & Trade RLUSD on the XRP Ledger
RLUSD is Ripple's USD-pegged stablecoin on the XRP Ledger. Here's how to buy, trade, and earn yield with it.
What Is RLUSD?
RLUSD is a USD-backed stablecoin issued by Ripple on the XRP Ledger. Each RLUSD is backed 1:1 by US dollar deposits and short-term treasuries. It is designed for payments, trading, and as a stable store of value within the XRPL ecosystem.
How to Buy RLUSD
The swap router checks both the order book and AMM pools to find you the best XRP/RLUSD rate. Settlement takes 3-5 seconds.
Why Hold RLUSD?
- Stable value - park profits in USD without leaving the XRPL
- Trading pairs - use RLUSD as a quote currency to trade against any XRPL token
- AMM yield - provide XRP/RLUSD liquidity and earn trading fees with relatively low impermanent loss
- Fast transfers - send USD-equivalent value to anyone in 3-5 seconds for near-zero fees
Earn Yield with RLUSD
The XRP/RLUSD AMM pool is one of the highest-volume pools on the XRPL. Because XRP and RLUSD have a relatively stable relationship (compared to meme coin pairs), impermanent loss is lower and fee income is more predictable.
Deposit equal value of XRP and RLUSD into the pool on the AMM Pools page and earn a share of every XRP/RLUSD trade. See our passive income guide for details.
RLUSD vs Other Stablecoins on XRPL
Several stablecoins exist on the XRPL, but RLUSD stands out due to Ripple's backing, regulatory compliance, and deep liquidity. It has quickly become the dominant stablecoin on the ledger by trading volume.
