Ripple gains U.K approval as ‘liquidity’ fuels XRP’s 2026 momentum

Despite XRP's price declining by 11.56% in 2025, the broader XRP Ledger (XRPL) ecosystem experienced significant fundamental growth, primarily fueled by a surge in stablecoin adoption. The stablecoin market cap on XRPL grew nearly 300%, with Ripple's native stablecoin, RLUSD, surpassing $1 billion and later reaching $1.38 billion. This massive liquidity influx drove a 4,160% increase in the network's total tokenized asset value, demonstrating strong capital flows. A key development reinforcing this momentum is Ripple's recent official approval to operate in the U.K., granting it legitimacy to expand payment services and work with banks. The stablecoin market cap on XRPL subsequently hit a record $405 million, underscoring the asset's central role in bridging TradFi and DeFi. The substantial liquidity provided by RLUSD enables deeper capital deployment, faster transactions, and stronger throughput on the XRPL. With XRP already up 14% in 2026, this combination of regulatory approval and powerful on-chain liquidity is positioned to fuel a new growth cycle.
