The stablecoin is reportedly available on platforms like Uphold, Bitso, MoonPay, Archax, and CoinMENA.
The launch caused a significant surge in XRP’s trading volume, increasing by 80%.
After much anticipation, Ripple’s stablecoin, Ripple USD (RLUSD), is now live on global exchanges. The listing of the digital asset has caused a surge in the trading volume of the token native to the blockchain XRP.
Data from CoinMarketCap shows that XRP’s 24-hour
trading volumes soared 80% to $18 billion. At the time of writing, XRP traded
at $2.62 with a market capitalization of $149 billion, ranking third behind
Bitcoin and Ethereum.
In the past day alone, the price has risen nearly 5%, while the gains are more than 25% in the weekly chart. In contrast, Bitcoin and Ethereum have not changed much in the daily chart, trading at $106,895 and $3,945, respectively.

Ripple’s New Digital Dollar
Ripple has officially entered the stablecoin market
with the launch of its new digital currency, Ripple Dollar (RLUSD). Announced
on December 17, RLUSD is now live on major global exchanges. RLUSD seeks to
offer cross-border transactions.
According to the company, the token is backed by US
dollar deposits and government bonds, ensuring stability in an otherwise
volatile market. Although RLUSD has not made it to major crypto
exchanges, it is reportedly available on Uphold, Bitso, MoonPay, Archax, and
CoinMENA, with plans for broader adoption.
"Ripple USD (RLUSD) is now live on global exchanges.
An enterprise-grade stablecoin built for everyone, $RLUSD combines fiat
stability with blockchain efficiency: Instant global payments, 24/7, Seamless
on/off ramps, Access value in real-world assets," Ripple wrote.
Analysts are now predicting prices will reach as high
as $20 in the near term, with the possibility of market capitalization reaching
as high as $1 trillion in the second quarter of 2025. One user on X highlighted
that the bull market is still at an early stage, and more is yet to come.
Market Volatility
This move positions Ripple as a partner for financial
institutions, developers, and enterprises seeking to embrace digital assets
within regulated frameworks.
Interestingly, RLUSD faced volatility even before its
official launch despite its backing and stable value proposition. Pre-launch
bids for the token experienced unusual spikes, with some investors willing to
pay as much as $1,200 for a fraction of the stablecoin.
Ripple has reassured users that these inflated prices
are temporary and caused by early speculative interest. David Schwartz,
Ripple’s Chief Technology Officer, cautioned against fear of missing out (FOMO)
behavior.

Stablecoins Are Becoming a Settlement Tool - And Brokers Need to Adapt

Executive Interview | Dor Eligula | Co-Founder & Chief Business Officer, BridgeWise | FMLS:25
In this session, Jonathan Fine form Ultimate Group speaks with Dor Eligula from Bridgewise, a fast-growing AI-powered research and analytics firm supporting brokers and exchanges worldwide.
We start with Dor’s reaction to the Summit and then move to broker growth and the quick wins brokers often overlook. Dor shares where he sees “blue ocean” growth across Asian markets and how local client behaviour shapes demand.
We also discuss the rollout of AI across investment research. Dor gives real examples of how automation and human judgment meet at Bridgewise — including moments when analysts corrected AI output, and times when AI prevented an error.
We close with a practical question: how retail investors can actually use AI without falling into common traps.

We close with a practical question: how retail investors can actually use AI without falling into common traps.
Brendan Callan joined us fresh off the Summit’s most anticipated debate: “Is Prop Trading Good for the Industry?” Brendan argued against the motion — and the audience voted him the winner.
In this interview, Brendan explains the reasoning behind his position. He walks through the message he believes many firms avoid: that the current prop trading model is too dependent on fees, too loose on risk, and too confusing for retail audiences.
We discuss why he thinks the model grew fast, why it may run into walls, and what he believes is needed for a cleaner, more responsible version of prop trading.
This is Brendan at his frankest — sharp, grounded, and very clear about what changes are overdue.
