Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin has rapidly risen in a short period, with a 24-hour trading volume exceeding PayPal's PYUSD and Circle's EURC, becoming the focus of market attention. However, this growth has had a limited impact on Ripple's XRP price, which has only seen slight fluctuations in the overall market trend.

The astonishing growth momentum of RLUSD

According to CoinMarketCap data, Ripple's stablecoin RLUSD has a market capitalization of only $53.1 million, but its 24-hour trading volume has surged to $607.58 million, an increase of 1,566%. This achievement far surpasses competitors like PYUSD (trading volume of $19.74 million) and EURC (trading volume of $10.55 million), showcasing the strong appeal of RLUSD in the market.

Ripple's successful strategy lies in carefully managing the supply of RLUSD, avoiding drastic price fluctuations by controlling token issuance. This approach not only ensures the stability of the tokens but also lays the groundwork for their future widespread adoption.

Market potential: Can RLUSD become a star in the stablecoin space?

RLUSD's growth has made it the third-largest trading volume stablecoin, behind Tether (USDT) and Circle (USDC). Ripple's Chief Technology Officer David Schwartz emphasized that market interest in RLUSD is exceptionally high, with some speculative bids reaching as high as $1,200 per token. However, Schwartz assures that RLUSD is pegged to $1 for exchanges, and any price deviations will return to stability as liquidity increases.

This stability and market interest may propel RLUSD to become a major player in the future stablecoin realm.

Impact on XRP

Despite RLUSD's impressive performance, its direct impact on XRP's price remains limited. As of the time of publication, XRP's price is $2.34, having slightly decreased by 4.19% in the past 24 hours. This indicates that although RLUSD's market position has improved, XRP's price is more driven by broader market dynamics and investor sentiment.

Looking ahead

The surge in RLUSD's trading volume and increasing adoption highlights Ripple's potential for success in the stablecoin space. If this trend continues, RLUSD may become a stablecoin on par with USDT and USDC. However, its long-term impact on XRP's price still needs further market validation.
