Binance Airdrop Puts 600,000 XRP Up for RLUSD Holders

Binance is putting 600,000 XRP up for holders of RLUSD, the US dollar-backed stablecoin issued by Ripple, according to a report published by COINOTAG on October 21, 2026.

The campaign distributes the XRP pool to eligible RLUSD holders on the exchange, but the size of each payout is not determined by a flat split of balances alone.

How the Payouts Are Calculated

In an update published at 18:04 UTC on October 21, COINOTAG reported that each user's XRP payout is calculated from their average RLUSD balance combined with an effective annual percentage rate (APR) that Binance sets. No per-user cap applies, and the exchange determines the effective rate used in the calculation.

Because both of those inputs — the average balance a user maintains and the rate Binance applies — sit with the exchange, the figures behind any individual payout, including the effective APR and the qualifying period, are the details to confirm in Binance's official campaign terms.

Background

XRP is the native digital asset of the XRP Ledger, a blockchain closely associated with the payments company Ripple. RLUSD is Ripple's US dollar-pegged stablecoin, which launched in December 2024 after receiving approval from the New York Department of Financial Services. Binance is the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume and has periodically run reward campaigns that distribute tokens to users holding designated assets on its platform.

The XRP distribution follows that established campaign format, applying it to Ripple's stablecoin and placing the NYDFS-approved token in front of the user base of the industry's largest exchange by volume. Tying allocations to average balances rather than single point-in-time snapshots means the program rewards sustained RLUSD holdings during the qualifying period.
