Will Ripple’s RLUSD Stablecoin Succeed Where AUDD Failed?

Will Ripple’s RLUSD Stablecoin Succeed Where AUDD Failed?

  • RLUSD on XRPL may face liquidity challenges like AUDD due to lack of MM partner support.
  • Ripple’s focus on sidechains and Ethereum raises doubts about RLUSD’s XRPL debut.
  • Ripple’s dependence on XRP sales raises concerns about XRPL’s long-term network growth.

Ripple’s announcement of their RLUSD stablecoin has sparked debate within the crypto community, especially because of the challenges faced by Novatti Payments’ AUDD stablecoin. AUDD was supposed to be listed on both the XRP Ledger (XRPL) and Stellar, but it faced liquidity challenges on XRPL, leading many to wonder if RLUSD will encounter a similar fate.

One of the key issues with AUDD on XRPL was the lack of liquidity, caused by the absence of active integrations from market-making (MM) partners. According to statements from Novatti Payments, their MM partners could not maintain liquidity on XRP’s decentralized exchange (DEX).

This meant buyers and sellers were not consistently matched on the DEX, creating a stagnant trading environment for AUDD on XRPL. Buyers had to use other platforms like LocalCoinSwap or Stellar DEX to acquire AUDD, further compounding the liquidity issues on XRPL.

Ripple’s RLUSD and Blockchain Strategy

If Ripple were to launch RLUSD on XRPL, it may face similar challenges. Jungle Inc Crypto News expressed doubts about RLUSD’s future on XRPL, suggesting it might debut on Ethereum instead.

Ripple’s focus on sidechain development, smart contracts, and blockchain events like Swell has raised questions about their commitment to ensuring the XRPL is fully prepared for RLUSD’s launch. If liquidity challenges persist, RLUSD might struggle on XRPL as AUDD did.

Ripple’s Business Priorities and XRP’s Role

The uncertainty surrounding RLUSD’s future on XRPL has prompted broader questions about Ripple’s overall strategy, particularly regarding their XRP holdings. While Ripple has long touted XRPL’s decentralized nature, critics question their reliance on XRP sales for revenue.

Industry observers say Ripple’s primary revenue is still XRP sales , with little indication that they have successfully diversified their income through other business ventures, despite their involvement in CBDC development and partnerships with governments.

Some within the XRP community believe that Ripple’s interest in Ethereum may be temporary and driven by short-term revenue goals. They believe that Ripple’s XRP holdings , valued at around $24 billion, give them a beneficial interest in maintaining and growing XRPL’s ecosystem.
