XRP’s Wild Ride: Could RLUSD Crash the $2T Stablecoin Party and Send Prices Sky High? 🚀

by

Alright, picture this: XRP’s price has been doing the financial equivalent of dodging rogue pigeons—aka, bearish macroeconomic vibes. But hold onto your hats, because the little altcoin that could is buzzing with more plot twists than your favorite binge-worthy drama. From the SEC’s soap opera ending, to cozying up with SWIFT (yes, that old banking texting service), and the latest juicy gossip about stablecoins going ballistic, XRP might just be riding a wave bigger than your last existential crisis. Standard Chartered, who definitely know their stuff, reckons stablecoins will explode into a $2 trillion market by 2028. So, what if Ripple’s RLUSD snagged half that cake? Spoiler: Your XRP might just moonwalk to the moon.

When RLUSD Hits $1 Trillion — Will XRP Pop Champagne or Pop Your Bubble?

Standard Chartered dropped a bombshell telling us stablecoins will go from a modest $230 billion to a jaw-dropping $2 trillion in just three years. Apparently, Uncle Sam’s finally giving the greenlight with some clever legislation called the GENIUS Stablecoin Act (I mean, if you name it that, it has to be genius, right?). Here’s the official line, in case you love a good quote:

“The volume of stablecoins outstanding is set to explode after the US passes legislation in a few months from now… We estimate this would cause total stablecoin supply to rise from $230bn today to $2tn by year-end 2028.”

So, RLUSD, currently flexing a $293 million market cap (a humble 0.12% of the whole stablecoin pie), could become the big cheese with $1 trillion in its back pocket. If that happens, Standard Chartered says XRP might dance up to $12.50 a pop. And then there’s Grok3, who’s throwing out some spicy takes that XRP could shoot for nearly $50 if RLUSD crushes it in the market. Imagine that—XRP going from the underdog in your crypto portfolio to that flashy ex everyone talks about.

“If Ripple’s RLUSD attains a $1 trillion market cap by 2028, the XRP price could rise significantly due to increased ecosystem adoption and utility. XRP’s price is likely to range between $24 and $50 by 2028. This assumes RLUSD’s success amplifies XRP demand.”

So yeah, RLUSD might just be the caffeine boost XRP needs to perk up the price charts. ☕️📈

Short-Term: Will XRP Break Free or Stay Stuck in Its Teenage Angst?

Zoom into the one-day chart and XRP’s doing a little dance within a falling wedge, which, in chart-speak, means it’s getting ready for a ‘plot twist’—likely a bullish one if it gets past that stubborn upper trendline resistance. If instead it nosedives through the lower support, well, that’s like gatecrashing your own party. Awkward.

The RSI indicator is creeping up from ‘way too gloomy’ territory and flirting with 50, which could mean the bears are losing steam (finally!). Meanwhile, the AO histogram bars are shrinking, giving us a hint that the bulls might be sharpening their horns, but they still need the official green light crossing zero.

If buyers decide to crash the sellers’ pity party and break the $2.51 resistance (hello, 50% Fibonacci level), XRP could rocket to $3.40, leaving the pessimists eating their charts.

XRP Price Chart

To wrap up this financial thriller: the stablecoin market’s meteoric rise paired with RLUSD’s potential market hogging suggests XRP might just go from wallflower to prom queen. The charts? They’re throwing subtle hints at a mood swing from gloom to go-getter.
