In a recent interview with eToro, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse provided significant insights into Ripple’s historical and ongoing use of stablecoins and its plans involving the XRP Ledger (XRPL).
<h2 id="b-ripple-s-history-with-stablecoins-b">Ripple’s History with Stablecoins</h2>
Garlinghouse <a href="https://x.com/_crypto_barbie/status/1869714898147823824?s=46" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">revealed</a> that Ripple has utilized stablecoins, particularly USD-backed ones, for years to optimize its payment solutions. He stated that Ripple had been responsible for minting 20% of the total supply of USDC, the popular stablecoin issued by Circle.
This underscores Ripple’s early recognition of stablecoins as a valuable tool in cross-border payments, particularly in situations where they provide greater efficiency than other digital assets or traditional currency pairs.
He added that Ripple has leveraged various stablecoins, including USDC and Tether (USDT), depending on specific corridors, customer needs, and operational efficiency. This history demonstrates Ripple’s flexibility in adopting technologies that enhance its payment solutions and address diverse institutional requirements.

<h2 id="b-ripple-s-stablecoin-launch-and-market-growth-b">Ripple’s Stablecoin Launch and Market Growth</h2>
Garlinghouse highlighted Ripple’s decision to <a href="https://timestabloid.com/ripples-rlusd-is-now-trading-globally-heres-where-you-can-buy/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">launch its stablecoin, RLUSD, </a>on the XRP Ledger. This move aligns with the company’s strategy to expand its offerings for institutional clients and maintain its competitive edge.
According to Garlinghouse, the global stablecoin market, valued at around $120 billion when Ripple decided to enter, has grown to nearly $200 billion and is projected to reach <a href="https://timestabloid.com/ripple-president-discusses-rlusd-strength-in-the-3-trillion-projected-market/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">several trillion dollars in the coming years.</a>
The launch of RLUSD is anticipated to benefit from emerging regulatory frameworks for stablecoins. By focusing on compliance and leveraging Ripple’s trusted reputation among financial institutions, RLUSD is positioned to complement XRP, creating a more comprehensive ecosystem on the XRPL.

<h2 id="b-the-role-of-xrp-and-the-xrp-ledger-b">The Role of XRP and the XRP Ledger</h2>
Garlinghouse emphasized that the XRP Ledger remains central to Ripple’s mission. He described the XRPL as one of the most efficient, trusted, and utility-driven blockchains in the market. The integration of RLUSD aims to enhance the ledger’s appeal to institutions, providing a stable and efficient mechanism for transactions.
Garlinghouse also addressed the broader potential for stablecoins denominated in currencies other than the US dollar, such as the euro and yen. While the US dollar remains dominant, he suggested that diversification in stablecoin offerings could follow market demand.
As the stablecoin market grows, Ripple’s dual focus on XRP and RLUSD positions the company to play a significant role in the next phase of digital financial infrastructure. This strategic alignment underscores Ripple’s commitment to innovation and its vision for a more efficient global payments ecosystem.
