Gate Officially Lists RLUSD With Four Trading Pairs and a User Incentive Program
Gate has listed RLUSD (Ripple USD), a regulated stablecoin backed by Ripple Labs, with trading pairs against BTC, ETH, XRP, and USDT. A 750,000 RLUSD incentive program accompanies the launch.
Cryptocurrency exchange Gate has officially listed RLUSD (Ripple USD), the U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin issued by Ripple Labs. The listing went live on June 15, 2026 at 09:00 UTC, with four spot trading pairs: BTC/RLUSD, ETH/RLUSD, XRP/RLUSD, and RLUSD/USDT.
RLUSD is a regulated, enterprise-grade stablecoin issued by Standard Custody & Trust Company, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ripple Labs. It is backed 1:1 by U.S. dollar deposits, short-term U.S. Treasuries, and other cash equivalents, with monthly attestations to ensure transparency and regulatory compliance. Since its launch in December 2024, the stablecoin's market capitalization has surpassed $1.6 billion, driven by adoption in payments, remittances, and institutional decentralized finance.
The stablecoin operates natively on both the XRP Ledger and Ethereum, offering users fast, low-cost transactions on XRPL and smart contract composability on Ethereum. This multichain design aims to support real-world payments, on-chain liquidity, and cross-network interoperability.
To boost initial liquidity and trading activity, Gate has introduced a market incentive program totaling 750,000 RLUSD. The program includes a CandyDrop mechanism for retail users, exclusive VIP airdrops for high-net-worth users, withdrawal fee reductions, and KOL promotion campaigns. The incentive structure centers on RLUSD trading against major assets like BTC, ETH, and XRP, while excluding stablecoin-to-stablecoin trading from core rewards to minimize non-organic activity.
Gate also announced that the RLUSD withdrawal function is expected to go live on June 16, 2026 at 09:00 UTC. During an introductory promotion, users can withdraw 20 RLUSD or more per transaction without any withdrawal fees. The exchange plans to phase in further fee reductions to facilitate asset deposits, withdrawals, and on-chain circulation across different blockchains.
The listing and accompanying incentives reflect Gate's ongoing strategy to strengthen support for stablecoins and multi-chain assets, enhance market depth, and improve trading efficiency. The exchange continues to expand its high-quality asset offerings and ecosystem partnerships.
