Big Breaking: Ripple’s RLUSD Approved in Dubai, XRP Price Rallies

Dubai just gave Ripple’s new stablecoin a big win. The city’s financial regulator, the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA), has approved RLUSD as a recognised crypto token for use inside the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) — a move that will help Dubai’s push to position itself as a global hotspot for digital finance.

While regulators in the US and Europe are still tightening their grip on crypto, the UAE is moving in the opposite direction — welcoming new players and clearing a path for blockchain-powered financial services. Ripple’s RLUSD is the latest to benefit from this approach.

“This isn’t just about another stablecoin getting approved. It’s a sign of where the market’s heading — and Dubai wants to be at the centre of it. We built RLUSD for transparency and reliability, and this is an important step for our expansion in the region,” said Jack McDonald, Ripple’s Senior Vice President of Stablecoins.

Stablecoin use in the UAE has jumped 55% over the past year, as businesses look for faster, cheaper ways to move money. With over 7,000 firms now active in the DIFC, Ripple’s approval opens new doors for both local and international financial services.

XRP Price Gains 2%

XRP price has gained 2% in the last 24 hours and is trading at $2.20 at the time of writing. After hitting levels below $2.15, the token is showing some bullish strength. XRP should first reclaim the $2.23 mark to confirm a bullish reversal. Furthermore, catalysts like the recent RLUSD approval are expected to push the prices higher.

However, XRP has been trading between $2 and $2.50 in the last two months. It remains to be seen if June will bring back the bullish rally.
