<p><a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/ripples-rlusd-launch-date-and-time-revealed-what-to-expect-today/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ripple is set to launch its USD-backed stablecoin</a>, RLUSD, on December 17, 2024. The stablecoin will initially be available on platforms like Uphold, MoonPay, CoinMENA, Bitso, and Archax, with plans to expand to more exchanges in the future. RLUSD is backed by U.S. dollar deposits, U.S. government bonds, and cash equivalents, offering transparency through monthly third-party audits of its reserves.&nbsp;</p>   
<p>While RLUSD is designed to always maintain a $1 value, some collectors are already bidding on it in on-chain marketplaces, with bids reaching up to 836 XRP ($2068) (As reported by Coindesk) before its release. This early demand could lead to temporary price fluctuations, as RLUSD may not have enough liquidity to immediately maintain its $1 peg.</p>   
<p>Himanshu Maradiya, Chairman and Founder, CIFDAQ, told Coinpedia, </p>   
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
  
 <p>“Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin, pegged to $1, has already generated significant excitement ahead of its launch, with onchain bids soaring up to $2,000. This pre-launch frenzy reflects limited supply and heightened demand, as speculators rush to secure the first RLUSD tokens.”</p> 
</blockquote>   
<p>He added, </p>   
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
  
 <p>“While such inflated prices may turn heads, volatility is expected to settle, bringing the price closer to $1 as liquidity normalizes post-launch. With RLUSD set to go live on the XRP Ledger, Ripple’s entry into the stablecoin market marks a pivotal moment, enhancing utility, driving liquidity, and strengthening stablecoins' role in cross-border payment solutions.”</p>

However, XRP has been facing major resistance at $3 and it remains to be seen if the altcoin can cross the crucial mark today.</p>   [article_inside_subscriber_shortcode title="Never Miss a Beat in the Crypto World!" description="Stay ahead with breaking news, expert analysis, and real-time updates on the latest trends in Bitcoin, altcoins, DeFi, NFTs, and more." category_name="News" category_id="6"]
