Ripple’s (XRP) gained 4.75% in the past 24 hours to reach $2.33 after it got the New York Department of Financial Services approval of its Ripple Lab’s RLUSD stablecoin. By approval for the public launch of RLUSD, <a href="https://deythere.com/xrps-price-surge-major-fee-adjustment-could-trigger-2000-growth/">Ripple</a> has been given permission to expand itself into the regulated U.S. space of the digital finance area. This approval makes Ripple a stronger player in the global stablecoin ecosystem and proves utility to XRP as a payment tool.

Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin is designed to maintain a 1:1 peg to the U.S. dollar. It operates on the XRP Ledger and Ethereum blockchains, making it compatible with existing financial systems. RLUSD aims to provide customers with a stable digital asset by removing their reliance on XRP’s price volatility. 
The approval from the NYDFS is a big win for Ripple, as New York is especially strict with its regulations. The decision to issue RLUSD aligns with Ripple’s underlying strategy to offer more stable and secure digital transaction methods. On social media, XRP CEO Brad Garlinghouse confirmed the approval and said the company would announce the launch when the coin is available on exchanges.

Thanks to New York’s regulatory power, <a href="https://x.com/bgarlinghouse/status/1866571228464460215" target="_blank">RLUSD</a> could compete with major U.S. stablecoin issuers, including Circle, Paxos, and Gemini. The NYDFS has imposed strict rules on transparency, security, and consumer protection on these companies, and as such, they now dominate the market. If XRP enters, the competitive landscape of this market could change.

Ripple argues that RLUSD may give XRP more value in the broader digital finance ecosystem. Analysts estimate that the stablecoin could drive higher transaction volumes and demand for XRP, thereby aiding its price growth expansion. Ripple wishes to combine RLUSD with XRP to make analogue and digital transactions more efficient, especially for cross-border payments. 
According to Ryan Lee, Chief Analyst at Bitget Research, RLUSD’s launch will be a massive game changer for XRP’s liquidity. He added that with RLUSD’s adoption for transactions, demand for XRP will increase, making its place in worldwide finance more prominent. The addition of RLUSD will solidify XRP’s position as a player in the cross-border payment sector, for which Ripple has already been gaining traction.

The value of cryptocurrency could continue to develop as more financial institutions and businesses accept XRP in remittance and settlement services. Adding RLUSD to the integration layer provides a second layer of stability and predictability to XRP and can increase the currency’s attractiveness to mainstream users. Their goal is to have the stablecoin perform seamlessly across blockchains, which should be key to XRP’s long-term growth. 
<h2 id="b-ripple-s-rlusd-could-push-xrp-beyond-10-b">Ripple’s RLUSD Could Push XRP Beyond $10</h2> 
Ripple’s <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/xrp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">XRP performance seems</a> to be on an upward trend. On the other hand, cryptocurrency has spiked by 70% over the last two weeks, mainly thanks to positive vibes about XRP’s efforts to increase its ecosystem. We expect Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin to support XRP price momentum. 
After forecasting XRP’s price predictions for 2025, the analysts believe the price will be around $1.80 to $8.40. With RLUSD adoption widely accepted, some optimistic scenarios see XRP surpassing the $10 benchmark. However, continued regulatory clarity and additional market trends will impact the final trajectory.
