 <li>Ripple’s stablecoin testing and SEC victory could drive XRP’s price to $3.20, signaling a major market shift.</li> 
 <li>Ripple’s entry into the $160 billion stablecoin market challenges industry giants and positions XRP for significant growth.</li> 
</ul> 
In line with CNF’s previous <a href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/whale-moves-15-3m-in-xrp-amid-market-correction/">report</a>, Whale Alert detected a significant movement of 26,287,782 XRP tokens from Binance to an unknown wallet. Ripple has started beta testing its new stablecoin, Ripple USD (RLUSD), on both its XRP Ledger and Ethereum. 
This move is part of its strategy to enter the $160 billion stablecoin market, currently dominated by Tether’s USDT and Circle’s USDC. This has led to speculation that Ripple’s stablecoin testing and its <a href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/ripples-q1-2024-report-xrp-market-soars-despite-sec-drama/">recent SEC</a> victory could fuel a price surge to $3.20 for XRP. 
As shared in a recent tweet by Ripple, 
<blockquote>
 We’re excited to share that Ripple USD (RLUSD) is now in private beta on XRP Ledger and Ethereum mainnet. RLUSD has not yet received regulatory approval and therefore is not available for purchase or trading – please be cautious of scammers who claim they have early access.
</blockquote> 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true"> 
 This is a significant milestone and a step closer to bringing more high-quality assets to the XRP Ledger, driving new opportunities, liquidity, and institutional use cases for users, developers, and applications.

The stablecoin is backed by U.S. dollars and short-term government treasuries. Ripple advises caution against scams claiming early access. 
The announcement follows Ripple’s legal victory, where a judge reduced a potential $2 billion fine to $125 million. This has fueled optimism for XRP, with analysts predicting potential price surges if XRP breaks key resistance levels. Ripple’s broad financial network and recent legal win may further boost XRP’s market potential and adoption. 
Mirroring the recent price increase, CNF <a href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/ripples-q1-2024-report-xrp-market-soars-despite-sec-drama/">reported</a> that the bullish trend in XRP is driven by whale activity and technical improvements. As of today, Ripple (XRP) is trading at $0.5649, a decline of 4.34% in the past day but a surge of 20.95% in the past week. See the XRP price chart below.
