Ripple Launches Demo for RLUSD!

Ripple has officially launched a demo version of its new payment platform, showcasing how its RLUSD stablecoin can revolutionize cross-border transactions. At a current price of $2.81, Ripple’s ecosystem continues to expand, with RLUSD now supporting payments in over 50 countries.

Announced by Ripple’s senior director Reece Merrick on X, the demo lets users explore features such as balances in USD and RLUSD, live exchange rates, transaction history, and seamless payment initiation.

One standout feature is the ability to convert RLUSD into traditional currencies like British pounds before sending, making international transfers faster and more cost-effective. Ripple recently minted $24 million worth of RLUSD in Japan, expanding its global availability.

Beyond payments, the demo highlights enterprise tools such as transaction tracking, reporting, and recipient management—features designed to help businesses streamline high-volume transfers with transparency and efficiency.

Ripple’s move also signals its ambition in the DeFi space, as RLUSD was recently listed on Aave’s Horizon RWA Market. By offering hands-on access, Ripple aims to drive adoption of its corporate payment solutions among institutions worldwide.

🔎 XRP Price Analysis: South Korean Demand Sparks $5 Hopes

XRP faced heavy selling pressure between August 28 and 29, dropping from $3.02 to $2.89. However, South Korean investors stepped in, buying up nearly 16 million XRP, worth around $45.5 million, and transferring them to private wallets. This accumulation has provided a crucial cushion, helping XRP hold above support levels.

Technical indicators suggest recovery may be underway. The $2.85 level is seen as critical support, while $3.02 remains a strong resistance. A breakout above this zone could signal the next push higher, potentially reigniting hopes for a run toward $5.

Institutional adoption and regional demand continue to play a major role in XRP’s momentum. With growing activity on the XRP Ledger and fresh integrations by fintech firms, long-term investors remain optimistic despite short-term volatility.
