Pundit Reveals Why RLUSD Will Make XRP More Valuable, Not Less
Summary
Jake Claver argues RLUSD does not replace XRP; it may strengthen XRP Ledger adoption by attracting compliant dollar liquidity. He distinguishes RLUSD as a stable, institution-friendly digital dollar from XRP as the neutral bridge asset used for routing value between different markets and currencies. Using a trading-port analogy, he says markets need a middle asset to reduce friction when buyers and sellers do not want the same thing. RLUSD works when both sides want dollars, but not for asset-to-asset trades such as tokenized Treasuries into euro funds or non-USD lending. He says XRP is better as a bridge because it has no issuer risk, is more neutral, and can serve as the ledger’s liquidity-routing layer.
