[Ripple Adopts Wormhole NTT Standard to Expand Stablecoin RLUSD to Layer2 Networks] Ripple has announced the first expansion of its stablecoin RLUSD to Layer2 networks, collaborating with the cross-chain interoperability protocol Wormhole and the NTT token standard to launch testing on Optimism, Base, Ink, and Unichain. Ripple expects to roll out RLUSD on more chains after obtaining final regulatory approval next year, with subsequent chain launches requiring testing and approval from the New York Department of Financial Services. RLUSD was initially issued only on XRPL and Ethereum.
