Upbit, the leading South Korean cryptocurrency exchange, has announced the listing of Ripple’s highly regulated RLUSD stablecoin.

The trading giant, which boasts a 70% share of the South Korean market, has launched three pairs with RLUSD (RLUSD/KRW, RLUSD/BTC, and RLUSD/USDT).

RLUSD has been added to some major trading platforms since its much-hyped launch in December 2024. Other notable listings include OKX in April 2026, Kraken in April 2025, and Bitstamp in January 2025.

XRP’s dominance in South Korea

The most recent RLUSD listing is particularly notable because South Korea has consistently been one of the strongest (if not the strongest markets) for the XRP token.

Korean exchanges are heavily driven by altcoins, and XRP has become the darling of local traders after initially gaining adoption on the local exchanges during the 2017-2018 bull market.
