'Interoperability Is Critical': Ripple Exec Explains How Rlusd Scales Across Chains

Ripple executive Jack McDonald emphasized the importance of interoperability in scaling its USD stablecoin, RLUSD, across multiple blockchains. He pointed to the role of multichain infrastructure providers like Wormhole, which has supported over $70 billion in cross-chain volume, as crucial to supporting institutional-grade Web3 functionality.

RLUSD currently circulates on both the XRP Ledger and Ethereum, with future integrations planned on Layer-2 networks such as Optimism, Base, Ink, and Unichain. It was recently listed for spot trading on Binance and is also being adopted as a collateral asset by institutional trading platform LMAX, signaling RLUSD’s growing role in cross-chain finance.
