Having satisfied the market conditions for listing in the United States crypto market space in December 2024, Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin has been gaining traction, evidenced by its debut on several exchanges. According to a January 29 press release, Margex, a Seychelles-based trading platform, announced that it has onboarded the stablecoin.
The trading platform wrote:
“Margex now supports RLUSD alongside other stablecoin options, such as USDT, offering users access to reliable and efficient trading solutions.”
Still, in the publicized document, the exchange noted that users will enjoy unique benefits from the stablecoin listing. Some of the purported features users will enjoy include fast and secure payments across nations. Margex added that RLUSD will offer customers stable value to facilitate trades with other crypto assets.
Other potential benefits entail streamlining the payment system by offering users cost-effective options. Notably, RLUSD inclusion also provides Margex customers a viable option that could serve as a shield against the highly unstable crypto market.
It is worth noting that the above benefits stem from the RLUSD 1:1 equivalent with the US dollars. In addition, backing from entities like government bonds, dollar deposits, and cash equivalents has made the RLUSD stand out among its peers. Hence, it should be unsurprising that trading platforms are already embracing the stablecoin despite existing for barely two months.
