It is backed by a trust company based in New York and regulated by a government authority. RLUSD is configured to support secure and cost-effective remittances at an institutional level.
Ripple's Strategic Partnerships
Ripple has formed significant partnerships with Chipper Cash, VALR, and Yellow Card, which will enhance the accessibility of RLUSD for both institutional and retail users. These collaborations are aimed at simplifying cross-border payments and ensuring compliance.
