XRP News: Ripple CTO Warns of Early RLUSD Supply Shortages and Price Volatility

Published by

Ripple’s Chief Technology Officer, David Schwartz, has warned that while there may be temporary supply shortages when RLUSD launches, causing prices to rise below $1, the price will soon stabilize as the market adjusts. He urged investors not to fall for “FOMO” (Fear of Missing Out) over possible early price fluctuations of the stablecoin. For the unversed, Ripple’s CEO, Brad Garlinghouse recently announced that RLUSD has received final approval from the New York Department of Financial Services.

Responding to concerns raised on X, Schwartz explained that during RLUSD’s early days, some individuals may be willing to pay unusually high prices, like $1,200 per fraction of an RLUSD, simply to be the first to purchase it.

He wrote,

“If you want to spend a lot of money to get a tiny bit of RLUSD before anyone else does, you can. But please don’t expect the price to stay over $1 once things stabilize, which I expect they will do very quickly. Please don’t FOMO into a stablecoin! This is not an opportunity to get rich.”

However, he assured that this price spike is temporary, and once supply stabilizes, the price will return to around $1. He said that the core purpose of a stablecoin is to maintain a stable price, and any short-term fluctuations will be corrected by arbitrage traders.

Community Awaits the Launch

The XRP community is excited for the launch of the RLUSD stablecoin. RLUSD is a stablecoin tied to the US dollar, meaning its value will stay at one US dollar. It will be issued on both the XRP Ledger and Ethereum blockchains. Ripple says it will be fully backed by cash and equivalent reserves and can be redeemed 1:1 for US dollars.
