Ripple believes the total stablecoin market will have swollen to $2 trillion by 2028 as demand for the low-volatility fiat-pegged tokens grows.

Ripple begins testing RLUSD stablecoin on mainnet 
On Aug. 9, Ripple Labs announced the first tests of its United States dollar-pegged stablecoin, Ripple Labs’ Ripple USD (RLUSD), on the XRP ledger (XRPL) and Ethereum mainnets, with plans to deploy the fiat-backed token on additional blockchain networks in the future.

According to Ripple Labs, the upcoming stablecoin will be overcollateralized, meaning that each unit of RLUSD is backed by USD reserves or short-term cash equivalents in a bank, at a ratio of 1:1 with the US dollar. To guarantee transparency and accountability, Ripple also promised third-party audits of the underlying cash assets and monthly reports published on the reserves.
