A newly released independent accountant’s report by Big Four firm Deloitte has verified that Ripple’s U.S. dollar-denominated stablecoin, RLUSD, is fully backed by reserves.
The attestation covering February 2026 confirms that the stablecoin is overcollateralized and fully compliant with the NYDFS’s regulatory framework.
Ripple is setting the industry standard for compliance with its attestation reports. Notably, Tether, the current market leader, also recently hired a “Big Four” auditing firm to check the reserves behind USDT.
The audit findings
As of Feb. 27 (the last date), the reserve held $1,568,986,016 in market value against 1,495,023,851 RLUSD units, according to the results of the examination.
The company’s proprietary funds and are fully segregated from the reserves. The red-hot stablecoin is backed only by highly liquid and secure asset classes, Deloitte confirms.
