Curve DAO opens gauge vote for the Ripple stablecoin RLUSD/USDC pool

Curve DAO governance has opened a gauge vote to add emissions for the RLUSD/USDC stablecoin pool, enabling it to receive CRV incentives if approved. The vote is visible to veCRV and integrated meta-governance participants such as Convex Finance, which relays proposals and lets vlCVX holders direct large amounts of voting power toward specific Curve gauges. Adding a gauge would make the RLUSD/USDC pool eligible for ongoing CRV rewards, a key mechanism Curve uses to attract and maintain deep liquidity in its stablecoin markets. The RLUSD/USDC pool pairs Ripple’s RLUSD (a USD-denominated stablecoin issued within the Ripple ecosystem) with Circle’s established USDC on Curve’s stable swap infrastructure, and has already been deployed with measurable liquidity and trading volume on the platform. Gauge approval would formalize it within Curve’s emission schedule, influencing how much liquidity and routing priority the pool can sustain relative to other stablecoin pairs. For Ripple and RLUSD, inclusion in Curve gauge voting is an important step toward broader DeFi integration and secondary-market depth; for Curve, it extends its role as a core liquidity venue for major dollar stablecoins while giving veCRV and vlCVX voters another outlet to compete over emissions and associated bribe markets.
