Federal Reserve Explores Ripple’s RLUSD Stablecoin for FedNow Payment System

• FedNow integrates Ripple’s RLUSD to improve payment speed and reduce costs.
• Ripple expands RLUSD through new partnerships, increasing access on 14 exchanges.
• U.S. lawmakers aim to regulate stablecoins for innovation and consumer protection.

The U.S. Federal Reserve is making progress in exploring how to add Ripple’s XRP technology into its FedNow payment system, with a focus on Ripple USD (RLUSD). 

It’s important to note that RLUSD is a proposed stablecoin from Ripple, pegged 1:1 to the U.S. dollar. It’s not the same as XRP, the cryptocurrency. This move is meant to use blockchain technology to boost transaction speed, reduce costs, and increase efficiency within the Federal Reserve’s real-time payment network.
