What Happened

Gate has announced the listing of RLUSD (Ripple USD), Ripple’s U.S. Dollar backed stablecoin, alongside the launch of BTC/RLUSD, ETH/RLUSD, XRP/RLUSD, and RLUSD/USDT trading pairs on June 15 at 09:00 (UTC). With the asset now available, users can trade RLUSD directly against major crypto assets in the spot market, further expanding stablecoin utility across trading scenarios.

Purpose-built for payments, RLUSD is designed to meet the growing demand from users, developers and institutions for a stablecoin that is transparent, interoperable and built for real-world use. Since its launch in December 2024, RLUSD’s market cap has surpassed $1.6 billion, reflecting rapid adoption across payments, remittances and institutional DeFi. A key pillar of RLUSD’s design is its multichain architecture.

To support the launch, Gate has simultaneously introduced a market incentive program totaling 750,000 RLUSD, covering trading, liquidity, and user participation across multiple dimensions. Key initiatives include a CandyDrop incentive mechanism for retail users, exclusive VIP airdrops for high-net-worth users, as well as withdrawal fee reductions and KOL promotion campaigns. The overall incentive structure is centered around RLUSD trading against major assets including BTC, ETH, and XRP, aiming to encourage genuine trading demand and enhance market activity.

In terms of mechanism design, the platform has excluded stablecoin-to-stablecoin trading from the core incentive scope in order to reduce the impact of non-organic trading activity on market data. At the same time, phased task structures and tiered incentive models are designed to balance new user acquisition with increased engagement from existing users. In addition, withdrawal fee reductions will be introduced in stages to facilitate asset deposits, withdrawals, and on-chain circulation, thereby improving capital flow efficiency across different trading venues and blockchain networks.

In addition, the RLUSD withdrawal function is expected to officially launch on June 16, 2026, at 09:00 (UTC) (the actual time is subject to the status shown on the asset page), along with a fee-free RLUSD withdrawal promotion. During the promotion period, users can enjoy zero withdrawal fees on a single withdrawal of 20 RLUSD or more.

Gate continues to strengthen its support for stablecoins and multi-chain assets by introducing emerging stable assets alongside systematic incentive mechanisms to improve market depth and trading efficiency. The launch of RLUSD and the concentrated release of incentive resources further reflect Gate’s strategic positioning within the stablecoin sector, as well as its long-term direction of continuously optimizing the trading ecosystem and user experience through the integration of high-quality assets and liquidity tools. Going forward, Gate will continue expanding high-quality asset offerings and ecosystem partnerships, strengthening the integration between trading and on-chain scenarios, and driving the continued evolution of digital asset market infrastructure.
