Binance to List RLUSD-Because the Crypto World Needed Another Stablecoin

by

Lo and behold! Binance, that ever-charitable colossus of crypto commerce, has deigned to list Ripple USD (RLUSD)-as if the world were not already drowning in digital dollars masquerading as financial stability.

In a statement so official it was probably typed on a keyboard with solemn purpose, the exchange announced spot trading shall commence on January 22, 2026, at precisely 08:00 UTC. One assumes this punctuality is to prevent any unruly speculation before breakfast.

And in a gesture so generous it borders on philanthropy, Binance is offering a “zero-trading-fee promotion” for select stablecoin pairs. Yes, you read that correctly-free trades! Presumably because charging nothing is the only fee low enough to attract attention in a market where stability is as fleeting as a politician’s promise.

The scheme, so delicately veiled as a “liquidity incentive,” reeks of desperation disguised as strategy-because nothing says “strong market” like begging people to show up.

The trading pairs

Users are now permitted-nay, encouraged-to deposit RLUSD in eager anticipation of trading, like children awaiting candy they know will rot their teeth. Binance will open three spot pairs, including the proudly anticipated XRP/RLUSD pair-because clearly, XRP needed a stablecoin tether to prove it’s still relevant.

And to mark the occasion-this triumph of financial engineering!-Binance has waived fees. Temporarily. Because nothing says “new era” like a brief respite from capitalism’s usual vigor.
