RLUSD is the Trojan Horse That Could Break XRP: Pu

Despite the reassurance, Stellar Expert recently argued that RLUSD’s multi-chain design could weaken the XRP Ledger’s position. He pointed out that RLUSD resides on both Ethereum and the XRP Ledger.As a result, he questioned whether the stablecoin might end up thriving more on other blockchains like Ethereum or Solana, especially if institutional clients choose these options for their better infrastructure.

He compared this possibility to how USDT started on Bitcoin’s Omni layer but later found a stronger foothold on TRON, which offered lower fees and faster speeds. However, this argument might not hold with XRPL, which is already fast and cost-effective.Since RLUSD is programmable, stable, and works across chains, he said it could become the core token used by banks and other institutions in Ripple’s network. In his view, this development could leave XRP with little real purpose.

Speaking further, he also warned XRP supporters not to assume that everything Ripple builds will benefit XRP. While Ripple continues to roll out tools and services, he believes the company is now pouring its real efforts into RLUSD.
