On Monday, the Wormhole team announced via a blog post that Ripple’s $RLUSD has adopted Wormhole's NTT standard to expand multichain. This integration will enable the issuance of $RLUSD across all of crypto, starting with Base, Optimism, Ink, and Unichain.
With NTT, token issuers eliminate the need for fragmented liquidity or wrapped assets, allowing a single, canonical version of RLUSD to exist natively on each blockchain, with Ripple owning the contracts.
Ripple expects to launch RLUSD on additional chains next year, subject to final regulatory approval. This expansion is a significant step toward diversifying the stablecoin ecosystem.
Wormhole is a leading interoperability platform powering multichain applications and bridges at scale. Wormhole’s modular suite of open-source, permissionless protocols and tools is being used by multichain builders to create some of the most popular web3 applications.
