Hot: burn or buyback

Ripple USD is for a stable digital dollar. We have not written its record yet, so its promises are not checked. It trades at $1, #42 of all coins by size, 7% below its highest ever price.

This week in the news: burn or buyback.

No stated job or named backing. No dated promises on its pages. Nothing dated ahead. #8 of 41 fiat-backed stablecoins. Nothing to be careful of on the record.

  • Something aheadA dated step, deliveries on record, or demand showing up in the news.
  • Room to growWorth at least four times less than the biggest coin doing the same job, so the gap is real, not a guess.

The gap, and what to do

It is already worth more than the typical coin in Fiat-backed Stablecoin ($79.61M). To match the leader, Tether ($183.37B), its price would need to rise 7626%, to about $77.26.

Still to check

  • No dated promise on record yet, so delivery cannot be judged
  • No named investor among its tags
  • Years younger than the group's leader

What to do Nothing dated is ahead and nothing has been delivered on record. There is no event to wait for yet, which is itself the answer.

A gap is not a forecast. Most small coins never close it. The site never picks.

Four tests, printed. Passing all four means a real job, real backing, something ahead, and a price far below the leader of its group. A filter on facts, never a verdict.

Every line has a source: the coin's own listing, CoinGecko's tags, the record, or the news feed. Reputation here is a count, never an opinion.

Does it deliver?

No dated promise has been found on the pages this project publishes. Its pages are saved every night, so anything it commits to from now on appears here.

Same job, different how

Fiat-backed Stablecoin: this coin next to Tether, the biggest rival within reach. People go to the bigger coin unless the smaller one does something it does not.

Ripple USD says
Ripple USD (“RLUSD”), issued by Standard Custody &amp.
Tether says
Tether is a platform that lets people use regular currencies, like the US dollar, in digital form on blockchains.

Two claims, side by side, in their own words. Whether the difference is real is for the record to show over time, and for you to judge.

What it is

Ripple USD (“RLUSD”), issued by Standard Custody & Trust Company, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ripple Labs, is a USD denominated stablecoin created with trust, liquidity, and compliance at its core. Each RLUSD is backed by at least an equivalent amount of U.S.

Problem it says it solves: a stable digital dollar. 194 coins are working on it and together they are worth $309,327,253,815. This coin is 1% of that.

Where it trades: Kraken, Bitstamp, Binance, Gemini, OKX

Each bar is a coin's worth today (price × coins out), longest first. The lit bar is this coin; grey bars are the others doing the same job.

Bars are market cap. Order is size, nothing else. Differences are measured from the coin you are looking at.

What should make me careful?

Nothing printed today

None of the six tests fails. A missed promise counts only on a record a person has checked.

What it says is different: Ripple USD (“RLUSD”), issued by Standard Custody & Trust Company, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ripple Labs, is a USD denominated stablecoin created with trust, liquidity, and compliance at its core. Each RLUSD…

It is 1.3% the size of Tether. On the facts above it is behind on years trading, headlines, last month. For that gap to close, the record would need deliveries showing up in its record. Nothing here says it will; the site does not predict.

The tests: nothing to hold it for, more missed than delivered, priced ahead of its record, half the supply still to come, rivals ship while it does not, a big release of coins soon.

The homework: the coin itself, the news, the record

That is all a market cap is: today's price times the coins in public hands. It moves every time the price does. It says what buyers are paying, not what the coin is worth.

Basics
  • 2.37Bin circulation of 2.37B total. No hard maximum is set, so more can be created.
  • 93%of its all-time high of $1.07 on 26 December 2024. That is −6.8% from the top.
  • #42by market cap, $2,373,380,697.
  • Not checkedwho holds the most coins, and how much has been burned. Those need on-chain data this site does not read yet.
