Wanchain explained the new routing options in a public statement on social media. The company said, “Users can move RLUSD across XRPL, Cardano, Ethereum, and Wanchain through our bridge.” As a result, RLUSD now operates beyond its original ecosystems of XRPL and Ethereum. The bridge also enables transfers between XRPL and Wanchain, and between Ethereum and Wanchain.
Ripple launched RLUSD in December 2024 to support digital payments and settlement use cases. Since then, the stablecoin has expanded across centralized exchanges and blockchain networks. The Wanchain integration strengthens cross-chain accessibility for holders and liquidity providers. This setup supports faster transfers across interconnected networks.
Ripple Expands RLUSD Network Strategy
Ripple has continued efforts to extend RLUSD beyond XRPL and Ethereum. In December, Ripple partnered with Wormhole to support broader multi-chain deployment. The partnership uses Wormhole’s NTT token standard to connect RLUSD with Ethereum Layer-2 networks. These networks include Optimism and Base, which operate as Ethereum scaling solutions.
Ripple stated that it expects full mainnet deployment after securing the required regulatory approvals. Testing for the Ethereum Layer-2 integration remains ongoing. Through this plan, Ripple aims to increase RLUSD availability across decentralized finance platforms. The Wanchain bridge now adds Cardano and Wanchain network connectivity to that roadmap.
RLUSD currently holds a market capitalization of $1.6 billion. The stablecoin ranks as the 44th-largest cryptocurrency by market value. It also stands as the eighth-largest stablecoin by market capitalization. These rankings reflect steady growth since its launch.
Trading data shows that RLUSD volume increased over 91% within 24 hours. The trading volume reached $80.45 million during that period. Market participants continue to transact RLUSD across supported exchanges and blockchain routes. Major exchanges listing RLUSD include Binance, Bitget, Kraken, HashKey, and Coinone.
Ripple and Wanchain have not announced further network integrations at this time. However, both companies confirmed ongoing technical support for current bridge routes. The latest update confirms active transfers between XRPL, Cardano, Ethereum, and Wanchain networks.
