Key points:
According to Ripple, Ripple is preparing to launch its US dollar-backed stablecoin, RLUSD stablecoin, in the coming weeks. During a fireside chat at Korea Blockchain Week, Garlinghouse revealed that RLUSD stablecoin is currently in private beta and is expected to launch soon.
The stablecoin is being tested on two blockchain networks and is intended to complement Ripple’s XRP tokens. Garlinghouse highlighted the opportunity for Ripple to provide a credible alternative in the stablecoin market, especially after USDC was pegged 18 months ago.

During the conversation, Garlinghouse touched on Ripple’s lack of interest in pursuing an IPO in the United States, citing the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) “hostile” stance toward cryptocurrency companies. He criticized the SEC’s inconsistency, noting that the regulator approved Coinbase’s IPO, only to sue the company for similar activities later.
Garlinghouse also expressed confidence that the SEC’s leadership will likely change after the next U.S. election, potentially leading to more favourable regulatory clarity for the crypto industry. Despite the challenges with the SEC, Garlinghouse remains optimistic about the future of crypto and legislative movements like FIT 21, which could bring positive changes to the industry.
