Binance Lists RLUSD As Ripple USD Hits Record Highs
Binance, the largest crypto exchange in the US, has announced its plans to embrace Ripple’s stablecoin, RLUSD. As per the platform’s official announcement, RLUSD trading on Binance will begin on January 22, 2026. The move offers users an easier and more cost-effective way to access the token with multiple new spot pairs and a zero-fee promotion at launch.
This strategic Ripple USD listing on Binance comes amid the stablecoin’s major milestone. Recently, the RLUSD hit a record high, driven by rising institutional adoption and Ripple’s expanding networks of partnerships. Thus, the Binance listing is poised to push the demand for the Ripple stablecoin even higher.
Binance Listing Pushes RLUSD Higher
Binance’s official blog post today confirms that the exchange will list Ripple USD (RLUSD). The spot trading for the stablecoin is set to begin on January 22, 2026, at 08:00 UTC. At the lunch, the exchange is offering a zero-fee promotion on the RLUSD/USDT and RLUSD/U trading pairs.
The platform offers three trading pairs for Ripple USD, including RLUSD/USDT, RLUSD/U, and XRP/RLUSD. Even before the commencement of spot trading, users can deposit the token, while withdrawals are expected to open on January 23. The exchange noted,
“Binance will list Ripple USD (RLUSD) and open trading for the following spot trading pairs at 2026-01-22 08:00 (UTC). To celebrate the launch, Binance is introducing a zero fee promotion for the RLUSD/USDT and RLUSD/U trading pairs.”
As part of the listing, Binance is launching a zero-fee promotion for the Ripple stablecoin. During this period, eligible users can trade the RLUSD pairs without paying any trading fees on both spot and margin markets, if available. The promotion will reportedly begin on January 22 at 8:00 with the RLUSD listing. It will also remain active until the exchange announces otherwise. This allows traders to buy and sell the stable token at a lower cost.
Ripple’s RLUSD has been making waves in the crypto industry since its launch. Addressing the potential of the token, Binance noted,
“As an industry leader for over a decade, Ripple has a proven track record of delivering breakthrough blockchain solutions at scale. Strong ecosystem relationships built over a decade facilitates RLUSD’s broad accessibility for use by financial institutions, enterprises and developers. Ripple’s commitment to regulatory compliance, combined with its global license portfolio, enables RLUSD users to transact with confidence.”
RLUSD Hits New Highs: What Drives this Surge?
Reportedly, Ripple’s dollar-backed stablecoin, RLUSD, has been exhibiting a remarkable rally over the past few weeks. It recently climbed to a new record high, with its market cap hitting $1.38 billion. This makes it one of the fast-growing stablecoins in the world.
As of now, the Ripple USD’s market cap stands at $1.33 billion. The trading volume has surged by 36.5% over the past 24 hours, reaching a remarkable $68.7 million. This indicates the growing popularity of the dollar-backed cryptocurrency among investors.
This surge is significantly driven by the rising institutional adoption of RLUSD. More companies and institutions are embracing the token. The latest development involves the cross-asset marketplace LMAX Group. The platform recently announced a strategic partnership with the Ripple stable token, integrating it as a core collateral asset across LMAX’s institutional trading infrastructure. LMAX CEO David Mercer stated,
“Partnering with a leader like Ripple is a milestone for LMAX. With greater US and global regulatory clarity, fiat-backed stablecoins will be a key catalyst in driving the convergence of TradFi and digital assets, and RLUSD is positioned at the forefront.”
While more exchanges, traditional institutions, and banks are collaborating with Ripple and its stablecoin, Ripple USD is gaining more momentum. Experts believe that the token will soon become an integral part of the global financial system.
