I noticed that many people are asking questions about RLUSD and how it will affect XRP, how it works and so on, so I decided to collect the most important information in a very easy to understand way.
RLUSD (stable coin):
It is a digital version of the US dollar, pegged 1:1 to the real dollar.
It is used as digital money for transactions, but remains tied to the value of the dollar.
It is a great way to send or receive money if both the sender and the recipient want to deal in dollars.
XRP (bridge value):
XRP is designed to connect different currencies (such as RLUSD, Euro, Yen, etc.) and move value quickly and cheaply across borders.
It is not pegged to any currency, it has its own market value.
You use it when you need to send money between currencies or across systems (for example, RLUSD in one place, Euro in another).
But wait, why should I use XRP if there is going to be RLUSD??
If you stick to one currency (like RLUSD → RLUSD), XRP is not necessary.
But if you’re moving between different currencies or systems, XRP is the bridge that makes it all work seamlessly and at low cost.
Think of RLUSD as digital cash for Dollars, and XRP as the global courier that connects everyone. They work together in many cases, but also serve different purposes depending on the transaction.
If you are still confused, I will give a simple example.
In the real world, there are over 180 currencies (such as Dollars, Euros, Yen). Banks have to hold huge amounts of money in each currency to send money around the world. It is expensive and slow.
XRP acts as a bridge currency.
If someone in the US wants to send $1 million to Japan, instead of needing both Dollars and Yen, they convert $1 million into XRP.
The XRP is sent to Japan, where it is converted into Yen.
This is faster and cheaper because banks only need XRP as a bridge, not every currency in the world.
RLUSD is like a digital version of a dollar.
It is backed 1:1, meaning every RLUSD is backed by a real dollar in a bank.
This makes it safe and reliable.
You can use RLUSD in the digital world (on the XRP Ledger or Ethereum) instead of cash.
Think of XRP as the super-fast delivery truck and RLUSD as the digital money that it securely transports. Together, they make global money transfers easier, cheaper, and much faster. Instead of 6,000 different currency combinations (Dollars to Yen, Euros to Pesos, etc.), banks only need XRP as a bridge. RLUSD makes the dollar ready for this digital system, so people can easily use it online.
Now, what will happen once RLUSD is launched?
The launch of RLUSD could indirectly boost the XRP market, but the extent of the impact will depend on how quickly RLUSD gains adoption and integrates into real-world financial systems.
Expect some short-term excitement but focus on long-term utility for sustainable effects on XRP.
