Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin has surpassed a major milestone, with its circulating supply now exceeding 120 million tokens, as adoption on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) continues to outpace Ethereum. The RLUSD stablecoin, initially launched on Ethereum, is seeing significant growth on XRPL, with 37.4 million of the 120 million tokens now circulating on the XRP Ledger.
This shift highlights the operational advantages of the XRPL, particularly its significantly lower transaction fees. While Ethereum’s average gas fees can surge to over $1.82 during periods of high congestion, XRPL’s fees are only $0.0002 per transaction, offering a 9,000x cost advantage. This makes XRP Ledger a more viable platform for stablecoin transfers, particularly in high-frequency and cross-border payments.
Ripple’s strategic integrations with institutional platforms like Revolut and Margex further enhance the liquidity and utility of RLUSD on the XRP Ledger. These partnerships, combined with Ripple’s ongoing push into real-world asset tokenization, are driving increasing demand for RLUSD and XRP as a bridge between traditional fiat and the digital economy.
As XRP’s adoption grows within tokenized asset markets, RLUSD’s increasing liquidity on XRPL is expected to further strengthen XRP’s role in global payments and digital finance. Analysts believe this could exert upward pressure on XRP’s valuation, particularly as Ripple deepens its involvement in central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and institutional payment systems.
As of now, RLUSD’s growing presence on XRPL marks a key development in Ripple’s roadmap for 2025, positioning XRP as a critical component in decentralized finance and digital asset ecosystems. The sustained demand for RLUSD, coupled with XRP’s deflationary tokenomics, could have long-term price implications as the network scales.
