Wall Street Giants' $500 Million Bet: How XRP Achieves Institutional Explosion with RLUSD and Mastercard Collaboration
The Ripple ecosystem is undergoing a strategic explosion from the fringe to the center, marked by its record-breaking $500 million financing, valuing it at $40 billion. The lineup of investors, including top Wall Street firms such as Fortress Investment Group and Citadel Securities, represents an unprecedented recognition of blockchain payment infrastructure by traditional finance. This indicates that Ripple has successfully shifted the narrative focus from the early 'XRP vs. SEC' to the institutional value positioning of 'XRPL as the global payment backbone.'
Key catalyst: Pilot collaborations with Mastercard, WebBank, and Gemini to explore the use of RLUSD stablecoin for credit card transactions on XRPL. This could become a historic case of regulated U.S. banks using compliant stablecoins to settle traditional card transactions on a public blockchain for the first time.
