Crypto lawyer praises Ripple's multi-chain strategy as RLUSD market cap surpasses $1.1 billion, boosting cross-chain demand.

Ripple’s stablecoin RLUSD has recently seen its market cap on Ethereum rise to around $1.1 billion, making it one of the fastest-growing cross-chain stablecoins. This breakthrough has attracted widespread attention in the crypto industry. Analysts believe that multi-chain deployment has become one of Ripple’s most important strategic decisions this year.

Analyst Wendy O pointed out that deploying RLUSD simultaneously on both Ethereum and the XRP Ledger (XRPL) is Ripple’s “wisest decision,” as the current crypto industry is fully moving towards a multi-chain ecosystem. She believes more and more projects will follow RLUSD’s example, thereby increasing the usability and cross-chain interoperability of their own assets.

Ripple recently partnered with a compliant CEX, enabling RLUSD to be used for card payment settlement on the exchange, further proving its multi-chain architecture’s expansion capabilities in real-world payments. According to Token Terminal data, RLUSD’s market cap has surpassed $1.1 billion and continues to climb. Crypto lawyer Bill Morgan also stated that projects refusing to develop multi-chain capabilities will lose competitiveness in the future and may even face the risk of being eliminated.

RLUSD’s advantages on both chains are clear: on Ethereum, it can access a vast DeFi ecosystem and liquidity; on XRPL, transactions are faster and costs are lower. This combination has driven continuous growth in RLUSD usage and accelerated the expansion of demand for cross-chain assets.

Currently, RLUSD has also been approved for use in the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), further enhancing its application prospects in regulated environments. As competition in the stablecoin market intensifies, RLUSD’s growth has become an important signal of increasing demand for multi-chain interoperability.

Meanwhile, former Ripple CTO David Schwartz recently announced his renewed involvement in XRPL infrastructure development. He has established an XRPL center to monitor on-chain operational status and pointed out that stronger validator nodes can significantly improve latency issues and enhance network stability.

XRPL’s recent launch of the MPT tokenization standard has also provided greater support for real-world asset (RWA) on-chain integration. Schwartz stated that he hopes to collect real data through the new center to address issues where certain functions may not operate properly under specific conditions.

Overall, RLUSD’s rapid growth, accelerated multi-chain deployment, and ongoing XRPL infrastructure upgrades are solidifying the Ripple ecosystem’s competitive advantage in the global stablecoin and cross-chain finance sectors.
