$2 Labs, provided insights on the company’s newly launched RLUSD stablecoin. Released this week, Schwartz highlighted in a video message via Ripple’s official X account that Ripple USD possesses practical applications for users and developers. He confirmed that this stablecoin is a reliable asset designed to showcase the potential of the XRP Ledger.
Advantages of RLUSD Stablecoin
Schwartz expressed that the stablecoin offers direct and indirect benefits within the XRPL ecosystem. He stated that a direct benefit includes increased transaction volume through the use of XRP as a bridge asset. Additionally, he noted that the unique features of XRP could expand the accessibility of Decentralized Exchanges on the XRPL.
The Ripple CTO remarked that XRP and RLUSD would complement each other due to their distinct characteristics. He indicated that the blockchain payment firm would continue to use XRP as a bridge currency in its proprietary product.
Ripple USD (RLUSD) is introduced as a fully backed stablecoin on the XRP Ledger, enhancing functionality for developers on XRPL.
The RLUSD stablecoin, which was launched this week, showed slight fluctuations on global exchanges like Uphold and Bitso. Starting at an approximate price of $1.15, the stablecoin largely maintained its 1:1 ratio to the US Dollar.
Role of RWA and RLUSD
Schwartz emphasized the future of the tokenization market for Real World Assets (RWA). He predicted continued growth in RWAs and an increase in stablecoin demand, positioning RLUSD to dominate this space. He stated that the speed and low cost of the XRP Ledger facilitate easy integration into this new system.
In conclusion, the technology expert asserted that the RLUSD stablecoin would continue to benefit from this ecosystem structure. Ripple’s new stablecoin aims to strengthen the ecosystem by offering various advantages to XRP and XRPL developers.
