RLUSD Crowned Number 1 Stablecoin as GENIUS Act Reshapes Crypto Regulation

On July 18, 2025, RLUSD by Ripple surged to the top of Bluechip’s stablecoin rankings, earning an initial “A” rating and claiming the number 1 spot for safety and reliability. Known for its dollar-backed structure and regulatory transparency, RLUSD’s ascent marks a major leap in financial trust.

This announcement arrived just as President Trump signed the GENIUS Act into law—hailed as a transformative move for crypto innovation. Following the Financial Services GOP’s approval of the Clarity, Genius.1582, and Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Acts, the GENIUS Act introduces a clear framework designed to unleash the full potential of dollar-backed stablecoins.

Described as “the greatest revolution in financial technology since the birth of the internet,” this dual development—RLUSD’s top ranking and the GENIUS Act’s passage—signals a new era for blockchain finance, rooted in clarity, credibility, and innovation.

Ripple Rises: XRP Earns ETF Status, RLUSD Gains Trust, and Garlinghouse Speaks Out

On July 8, 2025, XRP joined the prestigious list of Truth Social Crypto Blue Chip ETFs. The portfolio breakdown includes: 70% Bitcoin, 15% Ethereum, 8% Solana, 5% Cronos, and 2% XRP. While XRP holds a smaller percentage, its inclusion signals growing recognition and confidence from institutional circles.

The next day, Ripple announced via X.com that BNY Global — a financial titan renowned for reliability — was selected as the primary custodian for RLUSD, Ripple’s enterprise-grade stablecoin. This move cements RLUSD’s commitment to regulatory compliance and long-term stability, aiming for real-world utility across global markets.

Also on July 9, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse testified before the U.S. Senate Banking Committee. Reflecting on Ripple’s historic legal battle, he stated, “Ripple was the first leading U.S. company to be sued by the SEC… Fortunately, after four years of a hard fought legal battle, we prevailed.”

Together, these developments mark a strategic trifecta — ETF validation, institutional partnerships, and public policy engagement — reinforcing Ripple’s upward trajectory and its intent to shape the future of digital finance.
