Ripple and SBI Launch Stablecoin in Japan

Ripple and SBI Holdings are teaming up to launch Ripple USD (RLUSD) in Japan by early 2026, targeting the country's burgeoning stablecoin market. Backed by U.S. dollars and short-term treasuries, RLUSD aims to set a new industry standard with monthly third-party attestations to ensure trust and compliance under Japan's new regulatory landscape. This move follows Japan's recent green-lighting of stablecoins, signaling a major opportunity for international fintech companies like Ripple to expand within the region. Hosted on Acast.
