Ripple is able to introduce its new stablecoin pegged to the US greenback, Ripple USD (RLUSD). As the firm strikes ahead with this launch, Ripple’s CTO, David Schwartzwarns buyers about the expectations of economic positive factors related to stablecoins and highlights their main function: to supply stability in the cryptocurrency market.
High Anticipated Demand for RLUSD
Schwartz commented on the platform x that the premarket demand by RLUSD has been surprisingly excessive, which might result in a provide scarcity throughout the first few days after its debut.
“Someone is willing to pay 1,200/RLUSD for a small fraction of a RLUSD. Maybe they want the ‘honor’ of buying the first RLUSD on the DEX.”
However, he assured that the price should return close to the nominal value of 1 once supply stabilizes.
“If you want to spend a lot to get a little bit of RLUSD before everyone else, you can do that. But please don’t expect the price to stay above 1 when things stabilize, which I think will happen very quickly.”
The Central Purpose of Stablecoins
The CTO stressed that the goal of stablecoins, including RLUSD, is not to generate financial profits, but to provide a stable basis for transactions and financial management in the cryptocurrency market.
“Temporary price changes due to tight supply or high demand are possible, especially at launch. However, these fluctuations should not last long, as arbitrageurs quickly correct the market.”
Additionally, Schwartz warned investors against FOMO (fear of missing out), emphasizing that RLUSD should not be seen as an instrument to speculate or get rich quickly.
“Please don’t fall into FOMO with a stablecoin. “This is not an opportunity to get rich.”
