10 Million RLUSD Moved in One Hour as Things With Stablecoin Heating Up

by

As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience in the financial sector and a keen observer of the crypto space, I find the recent spike in Ripple stablecoin (RLUSD) transactions particularly intriguing. The sheer volume of 10 million RLUSD transferred within an hour is a testament to the growing adoption and confidence in this stablecoin.

In just an hour, the massive Ripple blockchain handled nearly 10 million units of its stablecoin, RLUSD. A number of significant transactions, worth approximately 2 million RLUSD each, were processed during this timeframe.

This week, Ripple introduced a new product into the cryptocurrency market, which is now being rolled out onto various digital exchange platforms. Users can start utilizing RLUSD for trading, making payments, and sending remittances.

Ripple CTO addresses wallet integrating RLUSD

This afternoon, David Schwartz, the chief technology officer at Ripple, playfully announced on X social media platform that they would soon be partnering with the Bifrost wallet to integrate a newly developed stablecoin.

In a recent tweet, Schwartz posted a questionnaire concerning the proper pronunciation of Bifrost, the wallet’s name: “beef-roast” or “buy-frost”? Known for his witty and caustic tweets that span across various topics in the crypto world and beyond, Schwartz often employs sarcasm and sharp humor.

This afternoon, Ripple posted a video featuring Nancy Beaton, Uphold’s Chief Revenue and Marketing Officer. In the video, she discussed the advantages of their newly introduced stablecoin, stating that RLUSD is pioneering in its field and will undeniably enhance “efficiency, swiftness, and transparency in international transactions.

This market is projected to balloon to an astounding $3 trillion within the next four years. Long emphasized that Ripple developed RLUSD with the intention of further connecting traditional finance with the blockchain ecosystem.
