Ripple’s RLUSD launches in Japan via SBI VC Trade after JFSA approval

Jun 25, 20266:26 AMNewsroom AI

Ripple has launched its Ripple USD (RLUSD) dollar-backed stablecoin in Japan after receiving regulatory approval, with the token made available through SBI VC Trade. Japan’s financial regulator cleared RLUSD as a new category of payment instrument, enabling both institutional and retail access via the platform [1] [2].

Multiple reports say RLUSD is now live in Japan and is positioned for use in payments, tokenization, and collateral management efforts. CoinDesk also described RLUSD as still relatively small in scale, citing an estimated supply of about $1.7 billion [1,2] [3] [1].

The RLUSD rollout marks a new regulated stablecoin launch in Japan, following JFSA approval and distribution via SBI VC Trade [2,4] [4].
