Justin Sun: Ripple's RLUSD Stablecoin on Tron

Justin Sun, the founder of Tron (TRX) and owner of BitTorrent, has hinted at a possible release of RLUSD on Tron (TRX). Meanwhile, the community expects this new stablecoin to launch today, Dec. 4, 2024, upon approval.

Ripple USD, a new USD-linked stablecoin from US fintech company Ripple, might become available on Tron (TRX). In a semi-ironic tone, Justin Sun, founder of Tron (TRX), hinted at this possible launch via his personal X account, where he has 3.7 million followers.

Crypto enthusiasts are also speculating whether RLUSD will become available on TON, one of the most talked about blockchains in recent months. After about 2.5 years of dominance, Tron was knocked off its throne as the leader in stablecoins by Ethereum (ETH). A possible release of RLUSD could help Tron (TRX) regain its status as the #1 blockchain for stablecoins.
