Ripple has partnered with OKX to expand its U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin RLUSD, making it available across more than 280 spot pairs and over 300 trading routes on the exchange. The listing also allows traders to use RLUSD as margin collateral for perpetual futures, putting it in direct competition with major stablecoins like USDT and USDC.
Long associated with stablecoins, Tether is now moving into mining infrastructure. The company has unveiled a modular architecture for Bitcoin mining and partnered with Canaan and ACME Swisstech to develop customizable and scalable platforms.
