The RLUSD Coinbase launch makes Ripple’s dollar-backed stablecoin available to eligible retail and institutional customers through Coinbase’s retail app, Exchange and Prime. The companies announced the integration on October 28, 2026.

Key Takeaways

  • Deposits and withdrawals are supported on the XRP Ledger, Ethereum and Base.
  • Coinbase Global Exchange access, including use of RLUSD as collateral, is planned but has no announced launch date.

What the RLUSD Coinbase launch includes

Under the Ripple and Coinbase partnership, eligible customers can trade and manage RLUSD across the three platforms. They can also convert US dollars and other supported dollar-denominated stablecoins into RLUSD at a 1:1 ratio.

Support for deposits and withdrawals on three networks gives users options for moving RLUSD between blockchain ecosystems. Ripple says it will also provide liquidity on Base to support the stablecoin’s use there.

Global Exchange support is still planned

The current launch expands access to RLUSD, but it does not yet include Coinbase Global Exchange customers. The companies say that access, including the ability to use RLUSD as collateral, will follow; they have not announced a date.

RLUSD launched in December 2024 and is redeemable for US dollars. Its reserves include US dollar deposits, short-term US Treasuries and other cash equivalents.
