Ripple’s $100,000,000 RLUSD Milestone Signals Strong 2025 Outlook for XRP
Ripple has launched a new stablecoin, RLUSD, with daily transaction volume exceeding $100 million. Many people are curious about how this move will affect XRP. Here is what former Ripple employee and Omni Network co-founder Austin shared about Ripple’s future strategy.
“Liquidity is a flywheel. The more trading activity an asset has, the greater the incentive for other exchanges to integrate that asset. This idea is the basis of every initiative promoted by Ripple. How they apply this concept to their $RLUSD strategy Medium?” he wrote on social media.
Ripple’s RLUSD strategy revealed
Austin King, who previously worked closely with Ripple co-founder David Schwartz, shared details of Ripple’s RLUSD approach. According to him, Ripple’s strategic focus is to use a liquidity-driven model to drive the adoption of RLUSD. The more trading activity RLUSD generates, the more exchanges and traditional financial companies will be incentivized to integrate it.
Key pillars of Ripple’s RLUSD strategy
Liquidity hubs and tokenization: Ripple’s goal is to make RLUSD the asset of choice for tokenization and liquidity of real-world assets. This is crucial for the entry of traditional financial companies, positioning RLUSD as the central hub of the financial ecosystem.
DeFi dominance: Ripple plans to integrate RLUSD into decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, including lending platforms, decentralized exchanges, and derivatives. The recent partnership with Chainlink to bring RLUSD to the Ethereum-based DeFi protocol marks an important step in this direction.
Leverage existing partnerships: Ripple has a strong banking and fintech network through RippleNet. This existing infrastructure will be used to drive RLUSD adoption, making it easier for Ripple to launch the stablecoin to its partners.
Austin believes that 2025 will be a year of huge growth for Ripple and RLUSD, and stablecoins will play a central role in global payments.
