XRP vs. RLUSD Debate Heats Up As Ripple Unlocks 1 Billion XRP Tokens
Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Ripple unlocked 1 billion XRP tokens from its monthly escrow in two separate transactions of roughly $626.43 million each, according to blockchain tracker Whale Alert, reigniting the debate over XRP versus Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin. The recurring escrow releases are closely watched because they add to circulating supply and can weigh on XRP price action, while the ongoing XRP vs. RLUSD discussion centers on whether Ripple's stablecoin push shifts focus and liquidity away from the token. The unlock comes as market participants weigh Ripple's dual-track strategy of supporting XRP while building out RLUSD. Traders will be watching how the newly released tokens are deployed—whether moved to exchanges, OTC desks, or institutional channels—and any follow-on commentary from Ripple on its escrow policy and RLUSD rollout.
