Both can coexist pretty well. RLUSD brings dollar liquidity on-chain, while XRP can facilitate cross-currency flows. The interesting part is how that translates into actual utility for the network.
Brad Garlinghouse says at @Ripple Swell that XRP remains the company's top priority despite its growing focus on RLUSD.
“We only want to do things that are good for XRP.”

Being at the table matters more than ever
OpenAI, Google and four other major AI firms sign a White House safety pact, the crypto industry spent more than $8 million lobbying for a market structure bill that stalled, and the CFTC moves to cement its federal jurisdiction over prediction markets.
@Uyendoe has what you need to know.
Nice to see stablecoin supply picking up again. Will be interesting to see if this signals a gradual return of liquidity to the market 👀
One area worth watching is how interoperability handles atomic settlement across different ledgers and legacy systems. Shared standards matter, but so do transaction finality, failure handling, and the reconciliation of off-chain records with on-chain state.
We’re proud to join the DTC Digital Assets Solutions Industry Working Group, convened by @The_DTCC and comprising more than 150 members across traditional finance and digital markets.
We look forward to contributing our perspective on institutional tokenization and interoperability.
