Ripple’s RLUSD is aiming for the stablecoin market.
Ripple had previously announced plans to introduce its stablecoin in order to gain a piece of the $170 billion market for stablecoins, which is rapidly growing. Stablecoins have a key role to play in the crypto world, serving as a connection between digital assets and traditional currencies issued by governments. Stablecoins are expected to hit a trillion dollar market value by 2030. Ripple’s RLUSD is a direct competitor to USDT and USDC due to its institutional-first strategy. reported CNF.
Monica Long said the Ripple team is ready to go. Long explained that Ripple’s stablecoin will allow it to capitalise on its existing role in payments, and also serve as an important bridge for tokenizing real-world assets. Ripple already minted 4.5 Million RLUSD stablecoins within the last 24 hour. reported CNF. Long, in a statement on this issue:
We have definitely validated their utility with payment for RLUSD, and stablecoins in general. In addition, we believe in this trend of tokenizing real assets. If we want to tokenize money for different capital markets and assets like real estate, securities, bonds, or other assets such as securities and bonds then you’ll need a very stable coin. It should be very trustworthy and reliable.
RLUSD is supported by U.S. Treasuries in short term, as well as dollar deposits and equivalents. The XRP Ledger Network and Ethereum network are currently under testing. BPM, a San Francisco accounting firm, will conduct independent monthly audits of the company’s reserves.
