Bitget, the leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, has announced the listing of Ripple USD (RLUSD) on its spot trading platform.
0
RLUSD, an enterprise-grade USD-backed stablecoin issued by Ripple, enters the Bitget ecosystem at a time when demand for secure and compliant digital assets continues to rise, particularly among institutional participants and developers focused on enterprise-grade blockchain use cases.
As a stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the U.S. dollar, RLUSD is natively issued on both the XRP Ledger (XRPL) and Ethereum, leveraging the unique strengths of each blockchain. The asset is backed by a segregated reserve held in USD fiat and cash equivalents. Bitget's decision to list RLUSD aligns with its strategy to support strong, high utility-driven assets across its growing spot market, which serves as a curated space for projects that advance blockchain adoption through real-world applications.
'We're excited to partner with Ripple, a team that has consistently pushed forward the adoption of crypto,' said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. 'RLUSD stands out as one of the few stablecoins issued by a NYDFS-chartered limited purpose trust company, placing it in a uniquely clear regulatory framework. This is particularly important for institutions seeking transparency and compliance in today's evolving digital asset landscape. Listing RLUSD also aligns with our 2025 strategy to expand institutional offerings and build a more robust, trusted ecosystem.'
The RLUSD listing on Bitget expanded access and offered a trusted trading venue for one of the industry's most closely monitored digital assets.
Bitget continues to scale its listings to support the increasing demand of the crypto market. The integration of RLUSD responds to the ongoing wave of stablecoins gaining popularity as critical tools in decentralized finance (DeFi), gaming, and tokenized asset ecosystems.
With an extensive selection of over 900 crypto pairs and a commitment to broadening its offerings, Bitget connects users to various ecosystems, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Base, and TON. The addition of RLUSD signals a strategic move to embrace regulated stablecoins's becoming a gateway to trade innovative crypto projects.

Maja Stark captures U.S. Women's Open for first major title
June 2 - Maja Stark has won tournaments around the world, but a professional victory in the United States eluded her. Now she's a U.S. Women's Open champion. Stark carded an even-par 72 to win the second major of the year by two shots Sunday at Erin Hills in Erin, Wis. The 25-year-old from Sweden led the championship by one stroke through 54 holes and outlasted World No. 1 Nelly Korda, who got within a shot of the lead before petering out on the back nine. "I just didn't want to get ahead of myself. I thought there's still a lot of golf left to be played," Stark said. "I just felt like people are going to pass me probably, and I just had to stay calm through that. "I didn't look at the leaderboards until I was on like 17. I caught a glimpse of it. It was nice." Stark posted a 7-under-par 281 for the week. Korda (71) tied for second with Japan's Rio Takeda (72) at 5 under, and South Korea's Hye-Jin Choi carded a 68 to claim a share of fourth place at 4 under with countrywoman Mao Saigo (73) and China's Ruoning Yin (70). Korda had a 2-under front nine to get to 6 under for the championship. Stark was nursing a one-stroke lead over Korda when she birdied No. 11 from 14 feet. Korda bogeyed the par-3 13th and birdied the next hole, but only after an eagle opportunity slid by. Stark made a two-putt birdie at No. 14 to get to 9 under and had enough cushion to absorb bogeys at the difficult Nos. 17 and 18, where she missed each fairway. "You need to kind of think about every shot here," Stark said of the difficult course setup. "Maybe not the tee shot on 10. I think that's fine. But everything else, you've just got to have your brain working for you, whereas like on normal weeks, you can kind of bail out. Here, not really." Stark has six wins to her name on the Ladies European Tour. One of those, the ISPS Handa World Invitational in Northern Ireland, was co-sanctioned by the LPGA and earned her a tour card in 2022. Before Sunday, the highlight of Stark's minimal major resume was placing second to Korda at the 2024 Chevron Championship. Now, she is just the third Swedish woman to win a U.S. Women's Open after Liselotte Neumann and golf legend Annika Sorenstam. "It's so cool. They texted me yesterday and just kind of said, 'Bring it home,'" Stark said. "That was already cool to just get those texts. Just looking at all the names on the trophy. I love the U.S. Opens. I'm so happy that it's mine now." Korda came up short of a would-be third major victory. She earned her best finish at a U.S. Women's Open and her third top-10 after she missed the cut last year. "To have that showing last year definitely put a dagger into my heart, but that's just golf," Korda said. "You're going to lose more than you win a majority of the time. I feel like I actually learn a lot about myself and my game and where I need to improve playing the U.S. Women's Open because it does test every part of your game. "It's also super motivating ... to see where my game's at. Hopefully I can continue trending in the right direction for a long season ahead." Takeda made an early double bogey in an otherwise solid round to stay close to the top of the leaderboard all day. She tied for ninth at this championship last year in her major debut and followed that with a T2 on Sunday. "This is a major, of course, and it is a big tournament. So I always thought that I would like to do my best here," Takeda said. Julia Lopez Ramirez of Spain played in the final pairing with Stark after shooting a 68 on Saturday. She struggled from the outset and finished 1 over for the event after a triple-bogey 8 on the final hole destined her to a score of 79. --Field Level Media

China vows ‘forceful measures' after accusing US of violating tariffs truce
China said the US 'severely violated' the consensus reached during their recent trade talks in Geneva and threatened 'forceful measures' in response, dealing a big blow to the prospect of a thaw in the trade war between the two largest economies. The Chinese commerce ministry on Monday accused Washington of seriously undermining progress in mending trade relations with its series of actions, including the revocation of visas for Chinese students. The statement marked the latest sign of deteriorating relations between China and the US under Donald Trump, who imposed sweeping import levies on Beijing and sparked a tit-for-tat tariff war. The two sides had managed to dial down tensions after a meeting in Geneva, Switzerland, last month led to the lowering of tariffs on goods imported from each nation and even raised hopes of a phone call between Mr Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping. The commerce ministry said China was 'strictly implementing' the consensus reached in Geneva but the US was taking steps that 'seriously undermine' it, state media reported. 'The United States has been unilaterally provoking new economic and trade frictions, exacerbating the uncertainty and instability of bilateral economic and trade relations,' it said. 'If the US insists on its own way and continues to damage China's interests, China will continue to take resolute and forceful measures to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests.' This came after Mr Trump said in a Truth Social post on Friday that China had 'TOTALLY VIOLATED ITS AGREEMENT WITH US'. The president said he had agreed to a fast deal with Beijing to 'save them from what I thought was going to be a very bad situation'. 'So much for being Mr NICE GUY!' he added. Mr Trump told reporters he wanted to speak with Mr Xi to resolve their ongoing disputes. China, on the other side, accused Washington of violating trade agreements by issuing "export control guidelines for AI chips, stopping the sale of chip design software to China, and announcing the revocation" of visas for students from the Asian country. As tensions resurfaced, US treasury secretary Scott Bessent said on Sunday the negotiations with China were "a bit stalled'. "What China is doing is they are holding back products that are essential for the industrial supply chains of India, of Europe, and that is not what a reliable partner does," Mr Bessent told CBS News. He suggested that a phone call between Mr Trump and Mr Xi would be necessary to break the stalemate. Mr Trump had signaled his wish to have a phone call with Mr Xi as early as February and even said he was willing to visit his counterpart, although no such arrangement was scheduled.

Why blockchain's cultural adoption may still be years away
Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... This post is a guest contribution by George Siosi Samuels , managing director at Faiā. See how Faiā is committed to staying at the forefront of technological advancements here . 'Technology changes fast. Humans change slowly.' In the blockchain space, we often mistake momentum for readiness . We see surges in transaction volume, new Layer 1s, enterprise pilots, or headlines about central banks and tokenized assets—and we assume that mainstream adoption is imminent. But a deeper look reveals a sobering truth: we're not even halfway there. Despite being popularized with Bitcoin in 2008, blockchain's mainstream adoption—let alone cultural integration —is still unfolding. In fact, if history is any guide, we may still be 15 years away from true normalization. Let me explain why. Artificial urgency vs. actual readiness Across tech circles, there's an unspoken pressure to 'move fast or miss out.' This artificial urgency is often driven by venture capital, hype cycles, or career incentives. Blockchain—especially post-2017 and post-2021—has not been immune. But urgency doesn't equal readiness. Pilots ≠ Platforms. Most enterprises are still experimenting, not integrating. Most enterprises are still experimenting, not integrating. Hype ≠ Habit. Most users still see crypto as speculative, not systemic. Most users still see crypto as speculative, not systemic. Adoption ≠ Acceptance. Tech may be used, but that doesn't mean it's trusted. It's not that the tech isn't ready. It's that we're not—at least not at scale. The 30-year arc of cultural adoption History tells us that major technological shifts typically require three decades to become culturally normalized: The push-button elevator took 20–30 years to replace human operators due to psychological discomfort with 'no driver.' took 20–30 years to replace human operators due to psychological discomfort with 'no driver.' The Internet , while technically available in the '80s and commercialized in the '90s, didn't achieve cultural ubiquity until the late 2000s. , while technically available in the '80s and commercialized in the '90s, didn't achieve cultural ubiquity until the late 2000s. Even electric vehicles, around since the 1800s, only became commercially viable and socially normalized in the 2010s–2020s. Why the lag? Because culture lags behind code. It takes time for people to reshape their mental models, trust new systems, and embed them into everyday workflows. Blockchain—despite its architectural brilliance—still struggles with this. Blockchain's hidden bottleneck: Human culture We tend to see scalability as a technical problem. But often, it's a cultural bottleneck: Compliance teams still default to paper trails. still default to paper trails. Boards struggle to distinguish between crypto noise and blockchain signal. struggle to distinguish between crypto noise and blockchain signal. Internal systems weren't designed with tokenization or auditability in mind. weren't designed with tokenization or auditability in mind. Language remains a barrier—terms like 'wallet,' 'hashrate,' or 'decentralization' confuse rather than clarify. Put simply: the infrastructure may be scalable, but the institutions—and instincts—aren't. Why 15 more years is not a problem—it's a pattern If we see blockchain as being in its teenage years (2008–2025), then what comes next is maturity—not more speed. The next 15 years will likely be less about technological breakthroughs and more about: Integration with legacy systems Cross-cultural regulation and harmonization Cultural onboarding and language reframing Trust-building through transparency and utility That's not stagnation. That's evolution. And it's where the long-term value will compound. A note for enterprise leaders If you're leading digital transformation at scale, the temptation to chase 'what's next' can be strong. But consider this: 'Culture is the invisible architecture of adoption.' Your blockchain strategy isn't just about ledgers and nodes. It's about human patterns, legacy instincts, and organizational memory. Success will come not from rushing adoption, but from aligning pace with place. Closing thought: Urgency is a signal—not a strategy Artificial urgency creates short-term buzz, but long-term burnout. In blockchain, as in most foundational innovations, what matters most is durable trust, not fleeting traction. So the real question isn't: 'How fast can we scale?' It's: 'How well are we integrating blockchain into the rhythms of human trust and institutional behavior?' The ones who win won't be the fastest—they'll be the most aligned.
