Margex, a top crypto trading platform, has added support for Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin. Traders can now use RLUSD as collateral for various crypto pairs, making trading more secure and efficient. This move highlights Margex’s focus on innovation and accessibility in the crypto market.
Why RLUSD Stands Out
On January 29, Margex announced that RLUSD is now part of its stablecoin offerings. This addition allows traders to use RLUSD alongside USDT and other stablecoins, ensuring smooth and hassle-free transactions.
RLUSD, issued by Ripple, is designed for fast and secure cross-border payments, making it a strong choice for global traders. It is backed by dollar reserves, government bonds, and cash equivalents, maintaining a 1:1 peg to the U.S. dollar. Additionally, it is regulated by the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS), adding trust and security for both new and experienced traders.
More Listings Coming Soon
Ripple’s RLUSD is already available on major platforms such as Bitstamp, Uphold, Bullish, Independent Reserve, MoonPay, Bitso, and Coinmena. But Ripple isn’t stopping there—it is actively working to secure listings on major exchanges like Coinbase, Binance, and Bybit.
