XRP ETF Ignites $1.7 Trillion Gold Rush as RLUSD Overtakes TrueUSD
The crypto market just got rocked—again. With the launch of the first XRP exchange-traded fund, institutional money is flooding into altcoins at breakneck speed. Meanwhile, Ripple's stablecoin RLUSD pulls off a stunning coup against TrueUSD in the race for liquidity dominance.
Wall Street's playing catch-up...as usual.
This isn't just another bull run—it's a full-scale regime change. The ETF approval signals regulators are finally (grudgingly) making room for non-Bitcoin digital assets. And that $1.7 trillion tidal wave? That's pension funds and hedge funds scrambling not to miss the next big thing.
As for RLUSD flipping TrueUSD—welcome to crypto's version of musical chairs. Today's market leader could be tomorrow's abandoned stablecoin. Just ask the ghosts of 2022's algorithmic failures.
One thing's certain: the suits are finally paying attention. Whether that's good for decentralization...well, that's another story.

RLUSD Market Cap Achieves TrueUSD Flip Milestone
Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin has actually surpassed $515 million in market capitalization, successfully completing the TrueUSD flip. The RLUSD market cap growth demonstrates increasing institutional adoption as Bank of New York Mellon serves as primary custodian for reserves at the time of writing.

Congress is preparing to pass industry-friendly stablecoin regulation with broad bipartisan support right now. The legislation requires dollar-backed stablecoins to hold reserves in short-term government debt or similar products that are overseen by regulators. This crypto market structure reform could impact how XRP ETF products are regulated once they get approved.
