Well, well, well! It seems that Jack McDonald, the Senior Vice President of Stablecoins at Ripple (a title that sounds like it was plucked straight from a sci-fi novel), has just announced that the market cap of Ripple USD (RLUSD) has galloped past the $100 million mark. š
Now, before you start popping the champagne, letās take a moment to appreciate that it took RLUSD a little over a month to reach this milestone. A month! Thatās practically a geological age in the world of cryptocurrency, where fortunes can be made and lost faster than you can say āblockchain.ā
McDonald, in a fit of optimism, claims that RLUSD is āover-reserved.ā This means that Rippleās reserves are actually greater than the total supply of the stablecoin. In laymanās terms, theyāve got $6 million more in reserves than they need. Itās like having a pantry stocked with enough canned beans to survive a zombie apocalypse, but you only eat takeout. š
āRipple strictly maintains reserves of highly liquid, low-risk assets to ensure our ability to fully meet redemptions,ā McDonald said, sounding like a financial superhero ready to save the day. Who knew stablecoins could be so dramatic?
Earlier this year, McDonald boldly predicted that 2025 would be āthe year of the stablecoin.ā I can only imagine the marketing team at Ripple is already preparing for a massive party, complete with balloons and confetti shaped like dollar signs. š
According to the ever-reliable data from CoinGecko (which sounds like a creature from a childrenās book), RLUSD is currently available on platforms like Bitstamp, Bitso, and Bullish. If you havenāt heard of them, donāt worry; theyāre like the hipster coffee shops of the crypto worldāgreat for those in the know, but a bit obscure for the rest of us.
And just when you thought it couldnāt get any more exciting, Ripple President Monica Long chimed in, stating that the stablecoin would āimminentlyā appear on more platforms. Imminently! Thatās a word that just drips with urgency, isnāt it? Itās like saying, āIāll be there in a jiffy,ā but youāre still stuck in traffic.
However, letās not get too carried away. RLUSD is still a far cry from catching up with the big boys in the stablecoin playground. Tether (USDT) is strutting around with a market cap approaching a staggering $140 billion, while Circleās USDC, which is all about that regulatory compliance life, is sitting pretty at $53 billion. Itās like watching a toddler try to keep up with a marathon runnerāadorable, but letās be real, itās going to take a miracle.
