<a href="https://x.com/JoelKatz/status/1787648135495606715" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">David Schwartz</a>, Chief Technology Officer of Ripple, has provided clarity on the timeline for the launch of the company's stablecoin. Addressing recent speculation, Schwartz clarified that the stablecoin's launch is not scheduled for June, contrary to some interpretations. Instead, he indicated that updates, including the announcement of the stablecoin's name, are expected to be shared in June.
This clarification follows Ripple's recent announcement of its entry into the stablecoin market, aiming to enhance the stability and accessibility of the&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/xrp-receives-crucial-adoption-boost-with-new-ripplex-feature" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">XRP Ledger</a>. The company intends to achieve this by backing the new stablecoin with a combination of U.S. dollar reserves and similar assets, positioning itself as a competitor to established stablecoin creators, such as&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/tether-sees-45-billion-profit-in-q1-report" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Tether</a> and Circle.
<blockquote>
 Yeah, I said we'd have more updates in June, likely including announcing the name.— David "JoelKatz" Schwartz (@JoelKatz) <a href="https://twitter.com/JoelKatz/status/1787648135495606715?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">May 7, 2024</a>

By engaging with regulatory authorities and emphasizing compliance, the company aims to establish its stablecoin as a trusted digital asset, potentially mirroring the functionality of a digital dollar. Notably, Ripple's established rapport with the SEC, despite its tense legal battles, lends further credibility to the new venture.

The previous clarification provided by Schwartz also addressed questions regarding the role of&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/xrp-skyrockets-91-in-volume-as-xrp-price-goes-wild" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">XRP</a> in Ripple's view on payment solutions. He emphasized that the popular cryptocurrency remains integral to the company's vision, highlighting its suitability for specific transactional contexts. Schwartz underscored Ripple's dedication to optimizing its services by leveraging XRP's strengths while acknowledging its limitations.
With Schwartz's announcement, the XRP community anticipates further updates from&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/xrp-robinhood-sec-law-veteran-delivers-key-updates" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ripple</a> in June, eagerly awaiting the progression of this significant initiative and how it will affect the trajectory of their favorite cryptocurrency.
