Standard Chartered-backed RLUSD seen driving Ripple Wall Street expansion, raising questions over XRP role

Standard Chartered has launched custody services for Ripple’s stablecoin RLUSD, adding to expectations that Ripple’s institutional business is growing on a track separate from XRP. U.Today said the move showed Ripple could expand in Wall Street and banking without an XRP price rise. RLUSD issuance is rising as XRP prices stagnate, and RLUSD’s market value has grown to $2.41 billion. Analysts cited by the outlet said XRP could become optional in Ripple’s institutional payment network.
