🚀 XRP News Today: Ripple’s RLUSD Launch & OCC Filing Ignite Explosive XRP Rally

Ripple just dropped two seismic catalysts—and XRP holders are cashing in.

The RLUSD Gambit: Ripple's new stablecoin (RLUSD) went live this morning, triggering instant liquidity inflows. Traders are front-running institutional demand as whispers of ETF integration circulate.

OCC End-Run: Yesterday's stealth filing with the Office of the Comptroller Currency hints at a US banking charter play. Because nothing says 'decentralization' like cozying up to federal regulators.

XRP's price ripped through resistance levels as legacy finance scrambles to decode Ripple's chess moves. The rally's velocity suggests either genius positioning or a masterclass in regulatory arbitrage—take your pick.

One thing's certain: Wall Street's still trying to mint stablecoins with Excel spreadsheets while Ripple executes.

XRP has been on a strong run lately, jumping 60% in the past month and beating out big names like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and Dogecoin. But the rally stirred up some confusion. Popular media figure Dave Portnoy sold his XRP, thinking that Circle, the company behind stablecoin USDC, was competing directly with Ripple.

That assumption turned out to be wrong, and costly, as XRP surged another 38% in just two weeks after his sale. However, this came just after Ripple had officially applied for a national banking license with the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), showing it’s serious about stepping into traditional finance, just like Circle is trying to do.

Pro-XRP Lawyer Clears the Air

It sounds like the guy who gave advice to @stoolpresidente might be a moron. Below, Dave said this guy told him that @circle WOULD be competing with XRP and that’s why Dave should sell his XRP.

Crypto lawyer John Deaton stepped in to clear the air, stating definitively that XRP, the token, is not in direct competition with Circle. He emphasized that Ripple, the company behind XRP, is entering the stablecoin market with its new asset RLUSD, not XRP itself. Deaton reiterated that while Ripple and Circle operate on the same fintech infrastructure layer, XRP is a digital asset designed for liquidity and cross-border payments, not a stablecoin rival.

Ripple has introduced RLUSD, its own stablecoin, aimed at carving out a share in the booming tokenized financial assets space. Ripple has already partnered with institutions like Anondo Finance, linked to JPMorgan, BlackRock, and Chase, positioning RLUSD for rapid traction. According to crypto analyst  Zach Humphries, confusing Ripple’s business ventures with XRP’s use case is a common mistake that can lead to misinformed trading decisions.

Humphries highlighted XRP’s breakout above the $2.32 resistance, a critical level aligned with the 200-day moving average. A “momentum up” buy signal was triggered by the XTLGO trading software around $2.40, and since then, XRP has gained over 43%. The token recently touched $3.65 before pulling back to $3.45, a healthy correction after its steep run.

Conviction Pays Off

Humphries shared that despite years of criticism, staying convicted to top-10 assets like XRP has paid off. He recalled XRP’s prolonged stagnation below $2.25 and how he saw the $2 level as the new accumulation zone. While volume typically dips during weekends, he’s eyeing Monday for a potential continuation of the rally as institutional volume returns.
