Ripple widens RLUSD multichain access via Wormhole
RLUSD can now move natively across multiple blockchains through Wormhole’s Native Token Transfers, giving institutions and developers broader access to compliant USD liquidity.
Ripple announced on X on June 4 that its U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin RLUSD can move natively across multiple blockchain ecosystems through Wormhole’s Native Token Transfers (NTT). Ripple wrote the change supports cross-border payments, institutional on- and off-ramps, and tokenization use cases.
Wormhole’s NTT is a cross-chain framework that preserves native token features when tokens move between chains. The protocol is designed to keep metadata, ownership, upgradeability and custom functionality intact and includes controls for rate limits, access management and supply accounting so issuers can track and restrict multichain movement.
Wormhole wrote on X: “Institutional-grade stablecoins just went multichain. Ripple’s RLUSD is now live across ecosystems via Wormhole’s Native Token Transfers (NTT) — the standard trusted by 100+ assets across 40+ chains. Compliant. Native. Multichain.”
Ripple described a staged rollout for RLUSD. After launching on the XRP Ledger and Ethereum, the stablecoin was extended into Layer-2 networks through Wormhole’s NTT framework. Ripple identified Optimism, Base, Ink, Unichain and an XRPL EVM sidechain among target ecosystems.
Bridge infrastructure for RLUSD has also been expanded. Wanchain integrated the stablecoin into its bridge architecture, enabling transfers across XRPL, Ethereum, Cardano and Wanchain.
Ripple reported RLUSD had $1.731 billion in circulation as of May 28, backed by $1.833 billion in reserve funds in its transparency report.
Ripple and Wormhole wrote that the integration preserves issuer control and native token functionality while providing additional channels for on-chain payments, tokenization and institutional liquidity management.
