Ripple plans to expand its RLUSD stablecoin to multiple Ethereum layer 2 networks using Wormhole’s Native Token Transfers (NTT) standard, the company said on Monday.
The expansion will bring RLUSD to Optimism, Base, Ink Chain, and Unichain, with availability slated for 2026.
The move would make RLUSD one of the first U.S.-based trust-regulated stablecoins to integrate with these L2 ecosystems, which are designed to facilitate faster and cheaper transactions while settling on Ethereum’s mainnet.
