Ripple has addressed the recent speculation regarding the launch of its RLUSD stablecoin, emphasizing that the XRP Ledger (XRPL) remains highly relevant to its strategy despite the token’s faster integration on Ethereum. RLUSD currently circulates across both Ethereum and the XRP Ledger, with a total market capitalization of approximately $1.45 billion. Most of this supply, over $1.11 billion, is on Ethereum, while roughly $337 million exists on the XRPL. The difference in distribution has led some observers to question whether Ripple prioritizes Ethereum over its own blockchain. These concerns were emphasized after Binance enabled RLUSD trading solely on Ethereum, though the exchange has confirmed that XRPL support is forthcoming. Nope. We have nothing to apologize for, it’s because I know there is a lot of noise out there. I want to give clarity to our strategy. It’s easy to see a post or a video and think, 'Wait, is that what they’re doing?' But third-party opinions do not reflect how our team think. — LJ (@luke_judges) January 29, 2026 Ripple’s Position on XRPL Luke Judges, Ripple’s Global Partner Success Lead, addressed these concerns in a statement on X. He clarified that XRPL remains a priority in all RLUSD exchange integrations. According to Judges, the faster rollout on Ethereum is a matter of technical readiness and existing exchange infrastructure, not a sign of reduced focus on XRPL. He emphasized that every exchange onboarding RLUSD either already supports XRPL or has formally committed to doing so. Judges stressed that misinformation had contributed to the misperceptions about the company’s strategy. Ripple intentionally designed RLUSD as a multi-chain asset to enhance liquidity and adoption across diverse blockchain networks. By launching on both Ethereum and XRPL, the company aims to provide broader access for institutional investors and everyday traders alike. Judges reiterated that the multi-chain approach does not diminish the importance of XRPL, but rather complements it by reaching more users efficiently while the XRPL infrastructure is fully prepared.

Ripple executives have consistently debunked such narratives. Last October, CEO Brad Garlinghouse reaffirmed that XRP remains integral to the company’s operations, while President Monica Long is scheduled to highlight XRP’s central role at this year’s XRP Community Day. Judges also noted that his comments were aimed at correcting the public misunderstandings, not to apologize for any perceived misstep. While Ethereum currently dominates RLUSD circulation, Ripple’s roadmap ensures that XRPL adoption continues to grow. By restating its commitment to XRPL, combined with a multi-chain deployment strategy, Ripple aims to balance technical readiness with long-term adoption goals, positioning the XRP Ledger as a vital component of its stablecoin ecosystem.
