The post Ripple’s RLUSD Stablecoin Set to Launch Today, What’s Next for XRP? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

The highly anticipated launch of Ripple’s dollar-pegged stablecoin, RLUSD, is expected to take place today, December 4, 2024. However, Ripple is reportedly awaiting approval from the New York Department of Financial Services, according to local media reports.

What is RLUSD?

Ripple USD (RLUSD), a 1:1 USD-backed stablecoin, offers transparency and stability on the XRP Ledger and Ethereum. With the launch of RLUSD, Ripple aims to leverage both its stablecoin and native token, XRP, to enhance its cross-border payment solutions.

At present, Ripple Labs has warned investors and institutions to avoid engaging with any token claiming to be RLUSD or Ripple USD before its official launch to prevent falling victim to scams. Despite this warning, RLUSD is currently listed on the cryptocurrency data platform CoinGecko.

Since August 2024, Ripple has been beta testing its RLUSD stablecoin on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) and Ethereum’s mainnet. The firm has shared plans to gradually expand RLUSD to more blockchains and DeFi protocols in the future.

Will RLUSD Impact XRP Price?

Despite the RLUSD launch, Ripple’s native token XRP, has already gained significant attention over the past week. Furthermore, experts anticipate a notable upward momentum for XRP once RLUSD becomes available on exchanges.

Currently, XRP is trading near $2.55 and has registered a price decline of 2.55% in the past 24 hours. During the same period, its trading volume dropped by $28%, indicating lower participation from traders and investors amid a bullish outlook.
