Overview
- RLUSD redemption is live for BlackRock’s USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL), with VanEck’s VBILL slated to follow in the coming days.
- A Securitize smart contract enables 24/7 conversion of tokenized fund shares into RLUSD, providing instant liquidity, real-time settlement, and programmable flows.
- RLUSD is issued under a New York Department of Financial Services trust charter and is backed 1:1 by high-quality liquid assets with third‑party attestations.
- Ripple reports RLUSD’s market capitalization at roughly $740–741 million since its late‑2024 launch, targeting institutional use cases and compliance needs.
- Securitize says it is integrating the XRP Ledger, a move that could bring BUIDL to XRPL and expand RLUSD’s distribution across tokenized real‑world assets.
