Ripple's CTO, David Schwartz, indicated that the upcoming stablecoin RLUSD could initially trade at inflated prices, potentially reaching $1,200 due to early supply shortages and speculative trading. He emphasized that such anomalies are temporary, with prices expected to stabilize around the intended $1 peg as minting and burning processes adjust to market demand. Schwartz cautioned against viewing RLUSD as a speculative asset, highlighting the importance of arbitragers in correcting price distortions.
