Binance Offers XRP Rewards for RLUSD but Base Rate Declines

Binance promotes up to 7.77% XRP rewards for RLUSD, but its base rate has fallen for three consecutive weeks.

Binance promotes up to 7.77% XRP rewards for RLUSD, but its base rate has fallen for three consecutive weeks. XRP (XRP) is trading at ₹124 ($1.30), down 0.8% since this brief published. This is an original Token Times brief based on reporting by Bitcoin.com, with live market data added, as of Sat, 17 Oct 2026 10:30:01 UTC.

Why it matters

This development highlights the evolving strategies of crypto exchanges to attract stablecoin liquidity through token incentives while navigating fluctuating reward rates.

Key takeaways
  • Binance offers up to 7.77% in XRP rewards for holding RLUSD stablecoin.
  • Base rate for the promotion has decreased for three weeks straight.
  • RLUSD has a $2.43B circulating supply and $2.97B in total value locked.

Binance has launched a new promotional campaign offering up to 7.77% in XRP rewards for users who hold Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin. The campaign, promoted on X, includes a total reward pool of $800,000 worth of XRP.

Despite the attractive headline rate, the base rate for the promotion has been decreasing. According to the reward table published by Binance, the base rate has fallen for three weeks in a row.

The RLUSD stablecoin has a circulating supply of $2.43 billion and a total value locked of $2.97 billion, according to DeFiLlama. This suggests that the stablecoin has a significant presence in the market, making it an attractive target for Binance's incentive program.

The broader crypto market remains relatively stable, with a total market cap of $2.81 trillion. Bitcoin is down 0.65% in the last 24 hours, while XRP, the token used for the rewards, has seen a 2.61% drop in the same period.

The declining base rate for the promotion may indicate Binance's attempt to manage costs while still attracting liquidity. Investors and users will likely monitor the rate changes to assess the long-term benefits of participating in the program.

The chart plots XRP's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from Token Times's market data (daily resolution).

What this means in rupee

At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 XRP ≈ ₹135.2 (about $1.30), down 2.2% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 9.3% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
