Ripple\'s RLUSD boost fizzles - why XRP is not rising

As Ripple expands its businesses in banking, digital-asset custody and stablecoin distribution, XRP will need more real-world transactions and usage to affect its price, an analysis said. Financial coach John Vasquez cited announcements at Ripple’s Swell 2026, including progress toward establishing a nationwide trust bank after final approval from the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and broader RLUSD distribution. He said it will take time for actual usage to rise.

Ripple CEO says XRP to become standard for institutional crypto payment rails in five years

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said XRP will become the standard for institutional crypto payment infrastructure within five years, calling it a core technology supporting the company’s financial services expansion. He said Ripple has broadened from payments into corporate treasury and prime brokerage, and will use XRP when it makes sense while also using fiat currency and its RLUSD stablecoin. He said revenue rose from $300 million to $900 million. David Schwartz also forecast broader blockchain adoption, aided by tokenisation of real-world assets.
