Why XRP is still needed despite RLUSD arrival, expert says uses are different

Ripple\'s dollar-pegged stablecoin RLUSD cannot replace XRP within the XRP Ledger ecosystem, Digital Ascension Group Chairman Jake Claver said. He wrote that the two assets play different roles even on the same network. XRP functions as a central hub that bridges assets lacking direct liquidity, reducing the number of liquidity pools needed as tokenised assets grow. RLUSD, designed to maintain a $1 value, is suited to dollar-based settlement but may not fit all tokenised asset trades.
