RLUSD

Ripple, the leading provider of digital asset infrastructure for financial institutions, today announced that
Ripple USD (RLUSD) has been integrated into Ripple’s flagship payments solution, Ripple Payments, further driving enterprise utility and demand for the asset.
RLUSD is an enterprise-grade, USD-denominated stablecoin created with trust, utility, and compliance at its core – backed by Ripple’s years of experience working with both crypto and traditional finance. In tandem, RLUSD is nearing $250M in market capitalization marking unprecedented adoption since its launch in mid-December 2024.
Powering cross-border payments with RLUSD and Ripple Payments
Today, Ripple has enabled RLUSD cross-border payments in its flagship payments solution, which processes billions of dollars in volume. Unlike many stablecoins, which are designed for retail use, RLUSD has built-in global enterprise utility to improve the speed and efficiency of cross-border payments.

Ripple is combining years of expertise in payments, an extensive payout network with near-global coverage, and a high-quality, stablecoin built with compliance at its core, to provide fast, low-cost and scalable cross-border payments. Today, RLUSD is being used in the payment flow with select customers, including cross-border payment providers BKK Forex and iSend to improve their cross-border treasury operations. Over time, Ripple will also expand the use of RLUSD for our payments customers.
RLUSD Nears $250M Market Capitalization; available today on Kraken
Since launching in December 2024, RLUSD has experienced strong global adoption, nearing $250M in market capitalization and $10B in trading since launch, demonstrating demand for an enterprise-grade, compliance-first USD-backed stablecoin.
Ripple is continuing to work with top-tier partners around the world to make RLUSD globally available. In addition to partners and exchanges LMAX Digital, Zero Hash, Bitstamp and Bullish, today RLUSD is now available on Kraken, one of the world’s longest-standing crypto exchanges, further extending access and availability to retail users.
“We're seeing the market cap continue to grow, outpacing our internal projections. In short order, RLUSD is being used for a number of use cases, including use as collateral in both crypto and tradfi trading markets. New exchanges are listing RLUSD on an ongoing basis and we're actively working with NGOs who see the opportunity to streamline giving through stablecoins,” said Jack McDonald, SVP of Stablecoins at Ripple. “We’re additionally excited to enable RLUSD in Ripple Payments, extending the breadth of stablecoins available in our cross-border payments solution.”

RLUSD is ideal for a number of financial use cases, allowing enterprises to:
Facilitate instant settlement ofcross-border payments.Access liquidity for remittance and treasury operations.Seamlessly integrate with decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols.Reliably bridge between traditional fiat currencies and the crypto ecosystem, ensuring a seamless and efficient transition when entering (on-ramping) or exiting (off-ramping) the crypto space.Provide collateralization for tradingtokenized real-world assets such as commodities, securities, and treasuries onchain.
RLUSD sets the standard for stablecoins, combining innovative functionality with the regulatory rigor and credibility of an NYDFS-issued New York limited purpose trust company, further highlighting Ripple’s leadership in fostering trust and transparency in digital assets.

In a significant development for blockchain-based real estate, the United Arab Emirates has selected Ripple’s XRP Ledger (XRPL) to power its real estate tokenization initiative, signaling a major step forward in XRP adoption across the region.

XRPL Powers First Real Estate Tokenization Project in MENA
The initiative, which now includes over 3,000 registered investors, marks the first real estate tokenization program in the MENA region and is currently available exclusively to Emirates ID cardholders who are official UAE residents.

Announced by Mahmoud AlBurai, a senior executive at the Dubai Land Department (DLD), the pilot program has garnered substantial interest, with many participants already on the waitlist. According to AlBurai, the trial network for tokenization is based entirely on XRPL, suggesting Ripple’s blockchain is at the core of this government-backed effort.

Government Partnership and Tokenized Property Ownership
The DLD has partnered with Prypco Mint and Ctrl Alt to digitize and tokenize ownership deeds for government-owned real estate. This collaboration aims to eventually enable investors to purchase fractional ownership in tokenized property — a game-changing concept in real estate accessibility and liquidity.

Although the current phase is limited to UAE nationals and residents, the program’s potential for broader expansion remains an open question, especially given Ripple’s expanding ecosystem of real-world asset (RWA) integrations.

Ripple’s Real-World Asset Strategy Gains Momentum
Ripple’s role in tokenizing real-world assets on XRPL has grown significantly in recent years. Notable investments include:
$10 million into tokenized U.S. Treasury bills via OpenEden
$5 million in a tokenized money market fund launched by UK-based Abrdn
The addition of real estate to Ripple’s tokenization portfolio further enhances XRPL’s institutional appeal, especially in regulated sectors.

Institutional Onboarding Accelerates in the UAE
Following its regulatory approval from the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA), Ripple has started onboarding financial institutions into its Ripple Payments infrastructure — a move that complements the expanding utility of XRP and RLUSD within high-value financial ecosystems.

XRP fell 5.2% to $2.31 after falling to $2.31, underperforming rivals as traders react to Wall Street plans for the stablecoin.
Ripple (XRP) fell 5.2% in the past 24 hours to trade at $2.31 on Saturday, underperforming its top five rivals. Derivatives data showed that short-term traders were closing positions quickly, even as Bitcoin (BTC) touched a new all-time high of $111,807. What’s next for $BTC price?
Ripple (XRP) rebounds to $2.31 despite bullish Bitcoin outlook
Ripple (XRP) lagged behind the broader crypto rally on Friday, lower on macro turbulence and fresh sector-specific risks.
While Donald Trump's threats of 50% tariffs on the EU fueled fresh institutional demand for Bitcoin on Friday, $XRP failed to capture the rally.

XRP fell 5.1% to open trading at $2.31 on Saturday from Friday's $2.44, according to data from CoinGecko.
In contrast, Bitcoin hit a record high of $111,807, adding $934 million in daily ETF inflows, the second-highest daily total since inception.
With a 5.2% loss, XRP emerged as the worst-performing top five asset by market cap. In particular, BTC, Ethereum, Solana, and BNB all outperformed XRP, each posting daily time-frame losses of less than 5% at the time of publication.


Why is XRP price down today?
XRP price underperformance on Friday reflected growing concerns among investors about Ripple's ability to compete in the global stablecoin market, especially after JPMorgan led a group of four major banks to pitch the idea of a new Wall Street local digital dollar.
On Friday, the Wall Street Journal reported that the largest US banks, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, and Wells Fargo, are exploring the launch of a joint USD-backed stablecoin.
The plan, still in the conceptual stage, involves using blockchain infrastructure providers such as Early Warning Services and The Clearinghouse to improve payment speeds, reduce cross-border friction, and take advantage of the market share of existing stablecoins launched by crypto-native firms, including Ripple’s RLUSD, Circle’s USDC, and Tether (USDT).
Ripple launched RLUSD in March 2025 as a regulated US dollar stablecoin on both the XRP ledger and Ethereum.
Backed 1:1 by US dollar reserves and short-term Treasuries, RLUSD serves as the payment and liquidity backbone for RippleNet and its on-demand liquidity (ODL) product suite for institutional players.

At the time of publication on May 24, Ripple's native stablecoin now commands a circulating capital of $310 million, according to the latest RLUSD data from Coingecko.
However, the emergence of a "Wall Street Stablecoin" backed by the top four US banks is particularly interesting among institutional players as RLUSD continues to grow. There is a risk of reducing market dominance.
What's Next for XRP Price Action as Open Interest Falls Below $5B?
XRP futures fell 1.47 percent to $4.89 billion, further underscoring open interest in the bearish outlook in futures markets, indicating that traders are actively deleveraging the Ripple-backed coin.
The snapshot of Coinglass’ Derivatives trading below shows how the total value of XRP Open Interest (OI) – active derivatives contracts – has decreased by 1.5%, shedding over $50 million in the past 24 hours.
Meanwhile, trading volume surged 51.84 percent to $6.97 billion, suggesting that price declines were driven by strong selling pressure the previous day.
Furthermore, $XRP Options Open Interest increased by 47.99% to $1.69 million, while options volume doubled to $16,570.
This indicates increased hedging activity, as traders brace for volatility following Wall Street news of the stablecoin and Trump's new tariffs on the European Union, which will take effect on June 1, 2025.

24-hour liquidation data confirms that $14.88 million of XRP longs were liquidated, and $1.02 million of shorts were liquidated for total positions of $15.89 million.
The 12-hour window alone has eliminated $5.02 million in long positions. This suggests that much of the recent selling pressure has come from long traders who were caught off guard by the JPMorgan news.
If XRP open interest continues to fall toward $4.5 billion, spot price action could test key support levels at $2.20 and $2.10.
Will XRP Recover?
Conversely, Bitcoin's current stability above $108,000 provides a favorable macro backdrop. As XRP price stabilizes above $2.30 over the weekend, Bitcoin's stable above $108,000 could offer a technical buffer for XRP bulls in the near term.
Technically, a recovery to $2.45 is possible if XRP holds the $2.20 support and derivatives open interest reclaims the $5 billion level.
XRP Price Prediction Today: Bears Eye $2.08 Reversal After Key Moving Average Breach
Ripple (XRP) was trading at $2.3066 at press time, down 5% from Friday, but the technical outlook remains cautiously bearish as XRP has moved below the 9-day and 21-day moving averages ($2.3697 and $2.3556, respectively).
This signal emphasizes the growing risks to the downside. Failure to hold these key trend lines suggests weakening short-term momentum, especially as price is now closing below the short-term MA for the first time since early May.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is sitting at 48.46, below its neutral 50 line and diverging from its moving average (currently 56.86), which means bearish momentum is building.

This further indicates that sellers may continue the pressure until the bulls claim control above $2.37. If the current weakness persists, the $2.08 level could emerge as the next major support.
While the Bitcoin price forecast today is largely positive, broader sentiment in altcoin markets lacks bullish conviction.
This contributes to XRP's indecisiveness, with a weak follow-through above $2.40 undermining earlier breakout attempts.
A decisive daily close above $2.37 would be needed to reverse the short-term outlook bullishness and challenge the $2.60 highs.
On the contrary, Ripple price may drop towards the $2.08–$2.10 region if bearish sentiment prevails over the weekend.

Okay so here’s the thing... XRP chart is lookin’ way too bullish to ignore right now. And it’s not just technicals. 🚀Is XRP about to repeat 2017-style run? All eyes on 19 May 👀
News also aligning perfectly with the setup 🔥CME ain’t launching XRP futures for fun. Something BIG brewing 🔥
Before I begin...🔥I'll likely make👉 my content private soon, and my content will show only to my followers. so make sure to follow me here , so u won't miss this and my future content.
We’ve got a clear bull flag pattern forming on the weekly — classic continuation sign. But what’s juicier? CME is launching XRP futures on 19 May. Not just any random coin — XRP getting listed on CME is massive, like big money eyes on it.
Add to that, Ripple’s stablecoin RLUSD is getting some noise lately. If the GENIUS Act actually helps RLUSD capture even half of what Tether (USDT) has, we’re talkin’ serious injection of volume into XRP’s ecosystem. Tether's sitting on $150B... even 50% of that in RLUSD could be game-changing.
Now back to the chart — if this bull flag breakout plays out, XRP might not just break $3... it could fly toward the $7–8 zone (see chart target), maybe even crazier in longer term.
