Ripple is set to launch its RLUSD stablecoin on December 17, following approval from the New York Department of Financial Services. The announcement has already spurred an 8% surge in XRP's price, with trading volume increasing by nearly 72%. The stablecoin, fully backed by US dollar deposits and other cash equivalents, aims to enhance cross-border payment efficiency and will be available on platforms like Uphold and MoonPay, with plans for integration into Ripple's payment solutions next year.
Ripple's CTO, David Schwartz, cautioned potential investors against panic buying the upcoming RLUSD stablecoin, which is trading significantly above its intended $1 peg. He warned that early buyers might face inflated prices and emphasized that RLUSD is not a speculative asset, urging against FOMO. Schwartz reassured that the stablecoin's price would stabilize near $1 post-launch, despite the competitive landscape dominated by established players like Tether and Circle.
Ripple's CTO, David Schwartz, warns against FOMO as the RLUSD stablecoin launches, potentially causing temporary price spikes above its $1 peg due to early supply shortages. He emphasizes that RLUSD is not an investment opportunity and should maintain a stable price, not serve as a speculative asset. Ripple aims to compete with established stablecoins like USDT and USDC, with the market expected to grow significantly in the coming years.
The adoption of Ether and Solana is surging in Brazil, with Ether transactions rising to 950,000 and over $165 million in value, up from 600,000 transactions and nearly $40 million last year. Solana also saw significant growth, doubling its transactions to 443,000 and increasing turnover to close to $84 million. However, the market remains dominated by dollar-pegged stablecoins, which accounted for 70% of the $2.64 billion transacted in October.
At the Bitcoin MENA conference, Eric Trump highlighted the UAE's blockchain leadership while announcing a $30 million investment from Tron in World Liberty Financial, a venture linked to his family. However, concerns arise over Tron's alleged ties to terrorist financing, prompting scrutiny of potential conflicts of interest involving Steve Witkoff, a co-founder of World Liberty and incoming special envoy to the Middle East. As the US and UAE deepen digital finance cooperation, the administration's response to these ethical issues will be a critical test of its commitment to responsible crypto regulation.
Dogecoin's price could surge significantly if it captures market caps of $137 billion or $472 billion, corresponding to XRP and Ethereum, respectively.

Elon Musk's net worth has reached an astonishing $439.2 billion, significantly surpassing the combined market capitalizations of major cryptocurrencies such as Tether, Solana, and XRP. This stark contrast highlights Musk's immense financial influence in comparison to leading crypto projects.
Tether’s USDT stablecoin has reached a record 330 million on-chain wallets, marking a 71% increase in just one year, particularly among small holders. This growth reflects a shift towards self-managed assets post-FTX crash, with USDT dominating the stablecoin market, holding 97.5% of the supply and significantly outpacing competitors. Its rising popularity in emerging markets highlights its role in financial inclusion, providing a reliable solution for savings and transactions for those with limited access to traditional banking.
Binance has partnered with Circle to enhance the adoption of the USDC stablecoin, aiming to support the global digital assets ecosystem. This collaboration, announced at Abu Dhabi Finance Week, will see USDC become Binance's primary stablecoin, while Circle will provide necessary technology and liquidity.In contrast, Tether has halted the minting of its euro-backed stablecoin, EURT, due to regulatory challenges in Europe, with a redemption deadline set for November 25, 2025. Consumer protection group Consumers' Research has criticized Tether for its lack of transparency regarding its U.S. dollar reserves, labeling it a potential disaster for consumers.
