Ripple stablecoin gains traction

In the past few weeks, the Ripple stablecoin has been growing in popularity since it was first launched on December 17th. Notably, Bitstamp, a significant cryptocurrency exchange, has introduced Ripple USD (RLUSD) on the Ethereum network to their list of assets. This digital currency is specifically designed for high-level financial applications like payments and tokenization.

New trading pairs have been introduced on the Bitstamp exchange: US Dollar (USD), Euro (EUR), Tether (USDT), Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and Ripple (XRP) paired with USD (RLUSD).

According to Monica Long, the president of Ripple, it’s likely that you will see Ripple’s partnership with RLUSD (Ripple Liquidity Solutions US Dollar) on various platforms very soon. Moreover, she anticipates the introduction of an Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) based on XRP in the near future.

In a recent tweet, the head of Ripple suggested that the market for stablecoins is expected to experience significant expansion this year. This growth, he implied, will strengthen use cases such as on/off ramps, access to US dollars, and cross-border enterprise payments. These benefits are likely to be further enhanced by complementary assets like XRP.

In simple terms, this week, Ripple revealed that RLUSD (Ripple’s USD stablecoin) has chosen to use the Chainlink protocol for reliable data verification. This move is designed to boost the adoption of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) by providing real-time, secure pricing information.
