RLS serves as the core utility token of the ecosystem. Transaction fees paid by institutional users must be settled exclusively in RLS. As Rayls explains, institutions currently acquire RLS through a foundation-operated SWAP contract, where USDT is exchanged for RLS before being distributed to foundation treasury and ecosystem incentive accounts.
“Rayls is developing infrastructure intended to help financial institutions access blockchain-based settlement frameworks,” said Anoush Bhasin, Head of Listings at Bitfinex. “By listing RLS, Bitfinex is providing broader market access to the token that supports the Rayls network’s operational and economic model.”
Bitfinex customers will be able to make deposits of RLS at approximately 12:00 PM UTC on 13/01/2026, subject to network conditions. Trading is planned to commence at approximately 12:00 PM UTC on 15/01/2026, contingent upon liquidity requirements being met. RLS will be tradable against US Dollars (RLS/USD) and Tether tokens (RLS/USDt).
