RLUSD stablecoin will increase demand for XRP — Axelar co-founder

According to data from CoinMarketCap, XRP has a maximum supply of 100 billion tokens, with approximately 57 billion XRP circulating.

XRP (XRP) experienced a historic rally in November 2024 due to political tailwinds and new ecosystem developments. Georgios Vlachos, co-founder of the Axelar open-source interoperability platform, told Cointelegraph that the upcoming RLUSD stablecoin will likely boost demand for XRP in 2025.

Vlachos said that many people, including those in emerging economies, use stablecoins as a method of transaction and a store of value. RLUSD transactions and remittances will mostly settle on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) and the XRP-EVM sidechain, driving demand for XRP. Vlachos told Cointelegraph:

XRP climbed to a seven-year high of approximately $2.90 on Dec. 3, 2024, but pulled back to current price levels after the Relative Strength Index (RSI) hit 95, indicating the asset was overbought. Despite the pullback, several catalysts have sustained investor attention for XRP going into 2025.

Bitcoin dominance hints at ‘altseason,’ analysts eye XRP price rally into 2025

Analysts are expecting Ether and altcoins like XRP to stage a significant rally leading into Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20, which also marks the last day of SEC Chair Gensler.

Bitcoin dominance has printed a significant signal for altcoin investors, that could see smaller cryptocurrencies rally during December and attract more investments ahead of Jan. 20.

Bitcoin (BTC) dominance, which measures the ratio of Bitcoin to the total value of the crypto market, has fallen to 56.1%, below its two-year support line, signaling that the market is “officially in altseason,” wrote popular analyst Mikybull Crypto, in a Nov. 30 X post.

In crypto slang, altseason, short for altcoin season, refers to the collective rally of cryptocurrencies besides BTC, which tend to benefit from Bitcoin’s declining dominance.
