XRP News Today: Regulatory Support Boosts RLUSD While XRP Faces Declining Technical Prospects
- XRP's 40% price drop contrasts with RLUSD's 56% surge in transaction volume to $3.5B, driven by institutional demand and regulatory approvals. - ADGM's recognition of RLUSD as a fiat-referenced token enables its use in collateral and lending, advancing Ripple's compliance-focused strategy in key financial hubs. - XRP remains below its 100-day EMA with bearish technical indicators, while RLUSD's 92.6% November issuance growth highlights its expanding role on the XRP Ledger. - Analysts suggest RLUSD's inst
XRP and RLUSD: Diverging Trends in November
During November, XRP and Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin have shown contrasting trends. While XRP’s value has dropped by about 40% from its yearly high, RLUSD has experienced a notable surge in both transaction volume and market capitalization. Over the past month, RLUSD’s transaction volume climbed by 56% to reach $3.5 billion, and its market cap exceeded $1.26 billion, signaling heightened interest from institutional investors.
Regulatory Milestones and Institutional Growth
RLUSD’s expansion into Abu Dhabi’s ADGM marks a significant achievement, as it was officially recognized as an Accepted Fiat-Referenced Token. This designation, granted by the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) of Abu Dhabi, enables licensed financial entities to utilize RLUSD for collateral, lending, and prime brokerage services within the region. This development is a pivotal part of Ripple’s strategy to establish RLUSD as a regulatory-compliant stablecoin, especially in jurisdictions where clear regulations are accelerating adoption.
Jack McDonald, Ripple’s senior vice president overseeing stablecoins, highlighted that this recognition underscores Ripple’s unwavering focus on compliance and building institutional trust. The move is consistent with Ripple’s ongoing expansion in the Middle East, including collaborations with Zand Bank and Mamo in the UAE, and follows similar regulatory approvals in Bahrain and Dubai’s DIFC, as reported by Coinpedia.
Technical Analysis: XRP Faces Continued Pressure
Despite RLUSD’s strong momentum, XRP’s technical indicators remain bearish. The token continues to trade below its 100-day Exponential Moving Average and has fallen beneath the Supertrend indicator, forming a pattern of declining highs and lows. Although inflows into XRP ETFs have reached $622 million, this represents only 0.5% of XRP’s total market cap—significantly lower than the ETF inflow percentages for Ethereum and Bitcoin, which stand at 5.5% and 6.54% respectively. This disparity points to both untapped potential and the challenges XRP faces in competing with more established digital assets.
Potential Ripple Effects for XRP
Regulatory advancements for RLUSD may ultimately benefit XRP. As more institutions adopt RLUSD, its utility on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) increases. In November, RLUSD issuance on XRPL jumped by 92.6% to $225 million. While Ethereum currently leads in RLUSD’s on-chain activity, the stablecoin’s integration into Ripple’s cross-border payment solutions and its use in settlement and collateral processes could further strengthen the XRPL ecosystem.
Outlook: RLUSD’s Ascent and XRP’s Prospects
Looking forward, analysts believe that RLUSD could soon rank among the world’s top five stablecoins by market capitalization, provided institutional adoption continues apace. With regulatory approvals in highly regulated markets like the UAE and a fully backed 1:1 USD structure, RLUSD is well-positioned to attract further enterprise and financial sector interest. For XRP, its future recovery may hinge on whether RLUSD’s success can drive broader growth across the ecosystem and whether ETF inflows can sustain momentum amid ongoing market fluctuations.
