Ripple’s chief technology officer, David Schwartz, said there may be “supply shortages” in the early days of Ripple’s US dollar-pegged stablecoin, but warned investors not to “FOMO.” 
In a Dec. 15 post to X, Schwartz <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://x.com/joelkatz/status/1868329931698245843?s=46&amp;t=MuRujqZUAz3TQE1vmr3c6A" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">said</a> he expects outsized volatility for the RippleUSD (RLUSD) stablecoin immediately following its launch, with several large orders for the token, despite it being designed to maintain a 1:1 parity with the US dollar.&nbsp;
He noted that some small initial pre-market bids for the currently unreleased stablecoin were artificially inflating its value before its launch. One <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://x.com/AssetsDaily/status/1866802646255874483" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">post</a> on X showed 1 RLUSD being valued at about 511 XRP (XRP), worth $1,244 at current prices, on a Ripple wallet called Xaman.
“There actually is someone willing to pay $1,200/RLUSD for a tiny fraction of one RLUSD,” said Schwartz.

Schwartz said that the bid looked as though someone wanted “the honor” of buying the first bit of RLUSD to go to market.&nbsp;
“But rest assured, the price will come back to very close to $1 as soon as supply stabilizes. If it doesn’t, something is very seriously wrong,” he said.&nbsp;
<blockquote>
 “Please don’t FOMO into a stablecoin! This is not an opportunity to get rich.”

On Dec. 11, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://x.com/bgarlinghouse/status/1866571228464460215" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">announced</a> that RLUSD had received its final approval from the New York Department of Financial Services, with the official Ripple account on X <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://x.com/Ripple/status/1866572850871873953" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">saying</a> that the stablecoin would be launching “soon.”

Once RLUSD is available, Ripple plans to use both RLUSD and XRP in its cross-border payments solution to serve its global customers, the company said in RLUSD’s beta testing announcement.
In June, Ripple president Monica Long also <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://x.com/AbsGMCrypto/status/1805711770662682967" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">said</a> that RLUSD was built to be “complementary and additive” to XRP.
According to some sources, Ripple <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://x.com/_Crypto_Barbie/status/1862868546021138867" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">sees</a> RLUSD as “beneficial” for XRP as RLUSD and XRP will be paired with each other.
While XRP will help add liquidity to RLUSD with its significant availability on exchanges, the stablecoin’s price will also be stabilized by pairing to prevent depegging.
According to Ripple Labs CEO Brad Garlinghouse, RLUSD will focus primarily on large institutional players.
