In a recent interview shared on X, by Xaif (@Xaif_03), Ripple President Monica Long highlighted a massive opportunity for the company in the stablecoin market.
With RLUSD, Ripple is positioning itself at the forefront of the rapidly expanding stablecoin market, projected to grow from over $200 billion to over $3 trillion within a few years.

She noted that large players in the payments industry, such as Stripe, have already begun integrating stablecoin technology into their operations, evidenced by Stripe’s recent acquisition of Bridge.

These developments reflect a growing demand for efficient and scalable solutions in digital payments, a demand Ripple aims to meet with its USD-backed stablecoin, RLUSD.
RLUSD – Ripple’s Answer to Payment Industry Demands
RLUSD is an important part of Ripple’s strategy. It is a stablecoin designed to facilitate high-speed, low-cost transactions globally. RLUSD will address critical inefficiencies in traditional payment systems while meeting the demands of businesses and institutions increasingly turning to digital assets for payments.
Ripple has already proven its capability in this space. Long revealed that the company has processed over $70 billion through its digital asset platforms. She emphasized that this expertise positions Ripple to become a leading provider of stablecoin solutions, with RLUSD poised to play a pivotal role in the $3 trillion market opportunity.

RLUSD has been ready for some time, with Long noting in her interview that the asset was “operationally ready.” After an extended regulatory process, the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) recently approved the stablecoin, and the company has plans to launch it soon.
Long stressed the importance of regulatory oversight, viewing it as essential to fostering trust and adoption among institutional clients, and this approval is a major step for Ripple.
Expanding Market Horizons
Long dismissed the idea of competition with existing stablecoins. Instead, she expressed confidence in the market’s capacity to grow exponentially. Ripple views stablecoins as an evolving solution to meet increasing global demand for efficient payment methods and not as a competitive space.
The company sees RLUSD as a complementary asset that will drive the stablecoin market forward rather than directly competing with incumbents.
The $3 trillion potential market is fueled by industries seeking faster, more reliable cross-border payment solutions. By addressing these needs, RLUSD is expected to enhance the utility of the XRP Ledger. This will put a major spotlight on XRP while expanding Ripple’s role in the global financial ecosystem.
