Ripple SVP Confirms XRP Essential to RLUSD on XRP Ledger

Ripple's SVP confirmed that XRP plays a crucial role in facilitating transactions on the XRP Ledger. The company is developing a dual-asset ecosystem, where RLUSD provides price stability and XRP powers liquidity and transaction flow.

The separation of roles may help reduce friction in international payments by combining stable-value transactions with instant blockchain-powered liquidity. Recent analysis suggests that RLUSD's usage could expand XRP's role rather than replace it.
