That makes it ideal for international payments, where delays and fees are common.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-546799\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/a_3d428c.png?resize=685%2C339\" alt=\"\" width=\"685\" height=\"339\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/a_3d428c.png?w=685 685w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/a_3d428c.png?w=640 640w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/a_3d428c.png?w=130 130w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/a_3d428c.png?w=104 104w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/a_3d428c.png?w=83 83w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 685px) 100vw, 685px\"><\/p>\n<p>Ripple took things further in 2024 by launching <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bitget.com\/academy\/what-is-ripple-usd-rlusd-and-how-does-it-work\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">RLUSD<\/a>, a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar. RLUSD runs on the XRP Ledger and uses XRP to pay network fees, which are then burned. That means every RLUSD transaction could help reduce XRP\u2019s overall supply, supporting its value over time.<\/p>\n<p>For users sending money between countries, XRP can act as a bridge. Dollars can be quickly converted into yen or other currencies without relying on traditional banking rails.
