Ripple's Stablecoin Surpasses $1.6B as XRP Stalls and AlphaPepe Offers Early Multichain AI Utility Bet
Ripple's stablecoin, RLUSD, has reached $1.6 billion in supply, demonstrating significant demand across payments, liquidity, collateral, and tokenized-asset settlement.
This milestone is a testament to Ripple's institutional ecosystem growth, with regulatory and banking relationships helping the company compete with established stablecoins like USDT.
However, XRP has stalled, raising questions about whether product growth directly translates to native token demand. Institutions may use Ripple's services without holding enough XRP to significantly impact its price.
AlphaPepe is offering retail investors an early opportunity to tap into multichain AI utility with its Stage 20 presale at $0.02654, having raised over $2.32 million. The platform provides six intelligence feeds for contract risk, token structure, liquidity, holder concentration, market behavior, and suspicious activity.
