Ripple’s stablecoin initiatives, centered on the Ripple USD (RLUSD), are currently a primary catalyst for speculative interest in XRP as of February 2026. While RLUSD is a separate fiat-backed asset, its integration into the XRP Ledger (XRPL) is viewed by investors as a fundamental driver that could transform XRP from a purely speculative token into a critical liquidity bridge for regulated institutional finance.
Current Status of Ripple's Stablecoin (RLUSD) Market Growth: RLUSD's circulating supply reached a $1.5 billion milestone on February 12,2026, with approximately $400 million of that supply residing natively on the XRP Ledger. Exchange Integration: Major global exchanges, including Binance, have completed technical integration for RLUSD on the XRPL as of mid-February 2026, enabling near-instant, low-cost deposits and withdrawals. Regulatory Foothold: The stablecoin has secured key approvals, including being classified as an "Accepted Fiat-Referenced Token" in Abu Dhabi (November 2025) and receiving New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) greenlighting.
International Expansion: Partnerships with SBI Holdings in Japan and Zand Bank in the UAE are set to launch localized stablecoin services on the XRPL throughout 2026.
Impact on XRP Speculation
Investors are speculating on XRP based on its functional relationship with RLUSD: Liquidity Bridge: On the XRPL, XRP acts as the native "bridge asset" through an auto-bridging feature, which uses XRP to facilitate the most efficient trading route between any two assets, including RLUSD and other fiat-backed tokens. Institutional Adoption: The success of a regulated stablecoin is seen as a "narrative boost" that makes it easier for banks to park value on-chain, eventually leading them to use XRP for settlement once they are comfortable with the infrastructure.
Price Projections: Analysts from Standard Chartered maintained high-end targets of $8 by year-end 2026, citing the convergence of stablecoin utility, ETF inflows, and the passage of the CLARITY Act as key requirements.
IN 48 HOURS, WE FIND OUT HOW SATOSHI WAS TIED TO EPSTEIN
The release of 10 hours of jail surveillance footage is just the beginning.
This Monday, Ghislaine Maxwell goes under oath before Congress, and the "untouchable" class is officially losing its grip.
As the final gatekeeper of Epstein’s secrets, she is the only one left who can burn it all down.
The most explosive theory heading into Monday? Maxwell might finally link Epstein to the creation of Bitcoin.
This isn't just a random conspiracy.
Epstein was obsessed with crypto and spent years embedded with the world's top cryptographers and MIT researchers long before the public knew what Bitcoin was.
If she confirms the Satoshi Nakamoto identity is tied to that network, the entire industry hits a wall.
We’re looking at:
SATOSHI FORTUNE: Verification on whether the million-BTC stash was actually a slush fund for the elite.
TOTAL MARKET WIPEOUT: If the "founder" of Bitcoin is revealed to be the world's most notorious criminal, every institutional dollar will flee.
NAMES: Beyond crypto, the real list of celebrities and politicians on the ledger finally goes public.
SYSTEMIC COLLAPSE: Monday could easily become the most volatile day in the history of the modern world.
Every billionaire and power broker is glued to their phone right now, waiting to see if she names them...
I will be tracking the hearing live this Monday and will be the first to drop the updates as they happen.
