Ripple strikes back: RLUSD and RLEUR put pressure on Tether
With the introduction of Ripple stablecoins RLUSD and the upcoming RLEUR, the stablecoin giant Tether (USDT) is increasingly coming under scrutiny. EU regulation through the new MiCA regulation forces the market leader to adapt its business models and practices. However, Ripple could be the perfect answer to these challenges and dominate the stablecoin market in the long term.
Ripple sets new standards with RLUSD and RLEUR
The launch of RLUSD, Ripple's new stablecoin, is just the beginning. With the planned RLEUR, a stablecoin directly pegged to the Euro, Ripple addresses the stringent requirements of the European MiCA regulation. These stablecoins are fully transparent, regulated, and built on the secure XRPL blockchain, known for its speed, scalability, and low costs.
Ripple seizes the opportunity to position itself as a compliant and future-proof ecosystem while Tether struggles with growing criticism regarding the transparency of its reserves and regulatory requirements.
RLUSD and RLEUR as challengers to Tether
The combination of technical superiority and regulatory clarity makes RLUSD and RLEUR a serious threat to Tether. Ripple has also positioned itself strategically well:
• Bank-friendly partnerships: Ripple collaborates globally with leading financial institutions and provides an infrastructure perfectly tailored for cross-border payments and stablecoin transactions.
• Regulatory compliance: With MiCA-compliant solutions like RLEUR, Ripple could quickly gain market share in Europe, where transparency and regulatory security are key advantages.
Tether on the defensive
While Tether continues to hold the largest market share in the stablecoin sector, competition is getting tougher. RLUSD and RLEUR could break into the market, especially if European banks and institutions begin to leverage the advantages of Ripple's stablecoins.
Market forecasts indicate that RLEUR and RLUSD could capture 15-25% of the stablecoin market in the coming years – with a large portion of that in Europe. This shift could undermine Tether's dominance while simultaneously boosting the XRP token.
XRP price surge due to RLEUR and RLUSD
The integration of RLUSD and RLEUR is expected not only to revolutionize the stablecoin market but also to significantly increase the price of XRP. Experts predict that demand for XRP will surge as stablecoin adoption increases. A realistic price target for XRP is between 7 to 10 USD by the end of 2025. Our forecasts are even triple-digit!
Conclusion: Ripple takes the lead
The launch of RLEUR and RLUSD marks a new era in the stablecoin market. Ripple not only presents a serious alternative to Tether but could also take market leadership in Europe with MiCA-compliant solutions.
