Ripple Advances Stablecoin Launch Strategy with 185 RLUSD Burn

The tokens are pegged 1:1 to the USD, ensuring each token represents real dollar value held in reserve.,The XRP company has committed to maintaining high transparency standards, with the stablecoin reserves being audited by an independent third-party firm.
