Ripple (XRP) Bets on 'Real-World Use of RLUSD' Over Price… CFTC Review and Geopolitical Variables in Focus

[Outlook for U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Regulation and XRP Review] The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has maintained its stance that it will conduct individual reviews for digital assets, excluding Bitcoin, taking into account their respective characteristics and liquidity structures. In particular, it has previously warned that for some altcoins, a perpetual futures structure may not be appropriate due to their relatively thin liquidity and high price volatility. XRP has also been included as one of the assets subject to this review. Within the industry, it is projected that whether this review is approved will have a significant impact on the inflow of institutional funds and the expansion of market participation.

[Ripple's New Central Axis: Expansion of RLUSD Real-World Use] The core of recent Ripple-related news is focused on the expansion of the stablecoin 'RLUSD' rather than the XRP price. This is interpreted as a move by Ripple to transform from a simple cryptocurrency company into a global payment infrastructure firm. In particular, its entry into the Turkish market, a strategic stronghold connecting the Middle East and Europe, is expected to serve as a crucial testing ground to gauge whether Ripple can expand its international payment business in the future.

[Geopolitical Variables and Macroeconomic Trends] On the international front, the trend of easing tensions between the United States and Iran is drawing attention. If geopolitical anxieties subside somewhat, there is a possibility that international funds will move back into risk assets and emerging markets. From Ripple's perspective, this is interpreted as a strategy to take advantage of this period to expand the use cases for RLUSD and broaden its market share.

However, with the risks of war not diminishing completely, market fatigue is rising, and the U.S. stock market is also in a holding pattern. Investors need to invest cautiously, taking into account various macroeconomic and geopolitical variables.
