Ripple Adopts The Chainlink Standard To Further Ripple Usd (Rlusd) Utility And Access In Defi

Ripple is now leveraging the Chainlink standard to bring high-quality pricing data around the Ripple USD (RLUSD) stablecoin onchain. RLUSD is an enterprise-grade, USD-denominated stablecoin created with trust, utility, and compliance at its core, backed by Ripple’s years of experience working with crypto and the existing financial system. By adopting the Chainlink standard for verifiable data on the Ethereum blockchain, Ripple is enhancing the utility of RLUSD across the onchain economy.Chainlink Price Feeds are now live providing a secure, reliable source of RLUSD pricing data on Ethereum mainnet, enabling developers to integrate support for RLUSD into their DeFi applications for use cases such as trading, lending, and more.With the Chainlink standard, Ripple is able to provide the RLUSD ecosystem access to high-quality offchain data through Chainlink’s battle-tested infrastructure, which has enabled over $18 trillion in transaction value and is trusted by the world’s largest financial institutions.The Stablecoin OpportunityStablecoins present a significant opportunity to redefine the way businesses and consumers engage in financial transactions by enabling low cost, instant settlement of local and cross-border payment transactions. To accelerate the adoption of stablecoin-based payment, Ripple recently launched RLUSD, designed to maintain value 1:1 to the US dollar (USD).Issued on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) and Ethereum blockchains, RLUSD is natively composable with smart contract applications such as those seen in DeFi. However, to support RLUSD as an asset, many DeFi applications first require a high-quality, reliable source of price data to manage risks.The Chainlink standard provides a unified solution to overcome these hurdles and provide the data required to accelerate RLUSD’s adoption within DeFi and fully realize the stablecoin opportunity.Enabling Secure Onchain Markets With Chainlink Price FeedsTo enable secure onchain markets around RLUSD, DeFi applications need access to fresh asset prices that are supplied directly onchain in a highly reliable and tamper-proof manner. Fair market asset prices should reflect a volume-weighted average from all trading environments, both onchain and offchain, with a decentralized oracle network infrastructure to fetch, aggregate, and deliver financial market data onto the Ethereum blockchain.After reviewing various oracle solutions, Ripple chose Chainlink Price Feeds because they provide a multitude of critical features such as:High-Quality Data — Chainlink Price Feeds source data from numerous premium data aggregators, leading to price data that’s aggregated from hundreds of exchanges, weighted by volume, and cleaned of outliers and wash trading
