Ripple has made some significant strides in recent times in developing its ecosystem and expanding its influence in the cryptocurrency market. Here are the main news:

Launch of the RLUSD stablecoin

In October 2024, Ripple introduced a new stablecoin, RLUSD, pegged to the US dollar. The move is aimed at competing with giants like Tether and USD Coin, which together control nearly 90% of the stablecoin market. RLUSD will be available on platforms such as Uphold, Bitstamp, Bitso, and others. Each RLUSD token is fully backed by dollar deposits, US Treasury bonds, and their equivalents. Sheila Bair, former chair of the FDIC, has joined the RLUSD advisory board.

Ripple has announced a partnership with Chainlink to integrate RLUSD into decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms on Ethereum and XRP Ledger. The partnership will ensure secure and real-time transactions, expanding the use of RLUSD in the DeFi sector.

XRP price predictions

Some experts are making optimistic predictions about the future price of XRP. In particular, analysts suggest that the value of XRP could increase significantly by 2025, given current trends and the development of the Ripple ecosystem.

Ripple management meeting with Donald Trump

In January 2025, reports emerged of Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse meeting with US President-elect Donald Trump. This event sparked speculation about the possible impact on regulatory policy regarding cryptocurrencies in the US.

Ripple continues to actively develop its products and expand its market presence, which could positively impact the XRP ecosystem and its value in the future.
