$280M Vault Revives XRP Price Forecast as AlphaPepe Builds Earlier-Stage Utility Trade
A $280 million RLUSD vault has brought fresh attention to XRP's potential price movement. The vault, curated by an institutional risk team on Ethereum, allows XRP holders to borrow dollar-pegged liquidity without selling their coins.
This integration is a real utility unlock for XRP, which is one of the largest assets in crypto but has been underused in DeFi. However, it's worth noting that this utility lands on a mature asset with a $67 billion market cap, and its impact may be marginal.
AlphaPepe, a project building earlier-stage utility trade, argues that catching utility early can have a greater impact on the price of smaller tokens. The company is in Stage 19 of its presale at $0.02501, with over $2.21 million raised so far.
