Crypto market analyst XFinanceBull recently took to X to debunk these claims, stating that, rather than being a potential threat, RLUSD was created to complement XRP\u2019s functionality and use cases on the ledger.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Why Ripple\u2019s RLUSD Poses No Danger To XRP\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>In his post, XFinanceBull<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/xfinancebull\/status\/2013673071639507357?s=46\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"> revealed<\/a> that many in the crypto community now see XRP as less useful because of RLUSD. These concerns carry weight given the growing dissatisfaction over XRP\u2019s price struggles. Furthermore, with a stablecoin in place, the perception is that <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/ripple-created-rlusd-because-xrp-failed-bitgo-ceo\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">XRP\u2019s use cases could deteriorate<\/a>, especially given RLUSD\u2019s greater stability.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Addressing these growing concerns, XFinanceBull emphasized that XRP and RLUSD serve different purposes within the ecosystem. His commentary aims to correct the misconception that <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/ripple-ceo-xrp-vs-rlusd\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">RLUSD was introduced to replace XRP<\/a>. The analyst referenced statements from <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/what-ripple-cto-resignation-mean\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">Ripple\u2019s former Chief Technology Officer (CTO)<\/a>, David Schwartz, who, in a video, clearly explained the distinct roles of XRP and RLUSD, highlighting how the stablecoin benefits the altcoin rather than threatens it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>According to XFinanceBull, Schwartz stated that RLUSD attracts large, credible flows to <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/what-xrp-ledger-achieved-2025-improve-2026\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">the XRP Ledger (XRPL)<\/a>, and this capital provides structural benefits to XRP. The analyst declared that RLUSD does not replace XRP, but instead amplifies its functionality. He added that as <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/lmax-group-ripples-rlusd-stablecoin-global-exchange\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">liquidity grows through the stablecoin<\/a>, more payment routes are created, leading to increased XRP burns.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>XFinanceBull also noted that every stablecoin trade within the Ripple ecosystem indirectly drives demand for XRP as a bridge asset. He concluded that the world will eventually realize that utility is not defined by a whitepaper alone, but by real transaction flows. He added that although the XRP price may be declining, its rails are still being built.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><b>How RLUSD Benefits XRP<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>In the video shared by XFinanceBull, Schwartz stated that <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/not-just-crypto-research-says-xrp-is-moving-into-bank-grade-payment-infrastructure\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">RLUSD is designed to benefit XRP<\/a>. He explained that RLUSD strengthens XRP by introducing more credible assets onto the XRP Ledger, thereby expanding the network\u2019s use cases and creating more opportunities for developers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The former Ripple CTO also revealed that adding trusted assets, such as RLUSD, increases <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/xrp-news\/xrp-dex-volumes-surge-as-price-plunges-smart-money-accumulating\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">trading activity on XRPL\u2019s DEX<\/a>. According to him, higher trading volume generates both direct and indirect benefits for the decentralized network and its native token, XRP.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A key advantage of the XRPL DEX is its auto-bridging feature, which uses XRP to facilitate trades between different assets. Schwartz said that this mechanism allows XRP to act as an intermediary, helping users find the most efficient trading routes. He added that RLUSD and XRP are designed to complement each other, given their different roles within the ecosystem. While the stablecoin offers price stability, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/xrp-news\/xrps-groundwork-for-appreciation\/amp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">the altcoin functions as a bridge currency<\/a> within Ripple\u2019s payment products. This means that as RLUSD usage grows, demand for XRP is reinforced.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/kWdzDabs\/\" alt=\"Ripple\" width=\"2108\" height=\"1440\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rumors about XRP suddenly becoming useless and less relevant appear to be spreading across the crypto market following the introduction of Ripple\u2019s stablecoin, RLUSD.
