Ripple and OKX Expand RLUSD Access with Over 280 Spot Pairs and Derivatives
- Ripple and OKX have joined forces to make $RLUSD available for spot trading across more than 280 currency pairs.
- The $RLUSD pair can now be used as “collateral for institutional-grade margin lending for derivatives, including perpetual futures, where applicable.”
On Wednesday, Ripple and the crypto exchange OKX announced a partnership aimed at expanding access to $RLUSD, including enabling spot trading of the stablecoin across more than 280 currency pairs.
The partnership could boost the usage and liquidity of $RLUSD, allowing Ripple’s stablecoin to better compete with the industry’s two leading stablecoins: $USDT by Tether and $USDC by Circle. Ripple launched its $RLUSD stablecoin in December 2024, and its market capitalization exceeds $1.5 billion.
On OKX, traders will be able to use $RLUSD as “collateral for institutional-grade margin lending for derivatives, including perpetual futures, where applicable,” according to the companies’ statement. “Deposits and withdrawals are processed via the XRP Ledger (XRPL), while direct minting and redemption ensure continuous liquidity access,” the statement added.
“As adoption of $RLUSD accelerates, we are seeing strong demand across both crypto-native and institutional markets, particularly for high-quality collateral,” said Jack McDonald, Ripple’s Senior Vice President of Stablecoins.
According to OKX representatives, thanks to a unified order book, clients can use $RLUSD “for trading and collateralizing positions across both spot and derivatives markets, enabling more flexible margin management and optimized capital allocation without moving funds between platforms.”
According to the statement, OKX serves more than 120 million customers worldwide. In addition to issuing $RLUSD, Ripple is closely associated with the $XRP token and is a key supporter of its ecosystem.
