Following regulatory clearance in Japan, Ripple has rolled out its RLUSD stablecoin to one of Asia's most tightly regulated crypto markets. The dollar-pegged token is now available through SBI VC Trade, a digital asset exchange operated by financial group SBI, serving both institutional and retail users across the country. The launch marks an expansion of RLUSD's footprint beyond its initial markets and signals growing acceptance of regulated stablecoins under Japan's stablecoin framework, which requires issuers and distributors to meet strict compliance standards. SBI has been a longstanding partner of Ripple in the region, supporting the company's broader push into Asian markets. The move positions RLUSD to compete with other dollar-backed stablecoins seeking entry into Japan, where authorities have established clear rules governing the issuance and circulation of such tokens for payments and trading.
