What Base announced
Base, the Ethereum layer-2 network incubated by Coinbase, posted a short announcement on its official X account on 28 October 2026: RLUSD, the US dollar stablecoin issued by Ripple, is live on Base. In a follow-up post Base added that Ripple will provide liquidity to support RLUSD on the network, and linked to Coinbase’s announcement for the details.
What changes on Coinbase
Coinbase’s blog post from the same day says it has added Ripple USD (RLUSD) to Coinbase Prime, Coinbase Exchange and the Coinbase app. Customers in supported regions can now trade and manage RLUSD there, deposit and withdraw it on three networks (the XRP Ledger, Base and Ethereum) and convert US dollars into RLUSD at a 1:1 rate.
Not everything is switched on yet. Coinbase says availability for Coinbase Global Exchange customers, including using RLUSD as collateral, will follow. The post does not list the supported regions, so check the asset page in your own Coinbase app before you send funds.
Why Coinbase is adding it
Coinbase frames the listing around institutions: it says seven of the ten largest US banks have tested stablecoins or tokenized deposits for settlement, and that RLUSD gives clients another regulated, dollar-denominated option inside infrastructure they already use. Brett Tejpaul, Co-CEO of Coinbase Institutional, and Jack McDonald, Ripple’s SVP of Stablecoins, were scheduled to discuss the partnership on stage at Ripple Swell on 28 October at 4:45 PM ET.
Our take
For Base, a second big regulated dollar stablecoin next to USDC means more choice for payment and DeFi apps, and Ripple’s committed liquidity should help RLUSD trade without wide gaps in its first weeks. Before moving RLUSD between networks, pick the right one at withdrawal: Coinbase supports the XRP Ledger, Base and Ethereum, and sending on the wrong network is the classic mistake. For holding and spending stablecoins such as USDC on Base, the Base app and Phantom are linked on this page.
