Ripple's RLUSD Nears Top 50 After Strong Market Cap Gains
Ripple’s USD stablecoin, RLUSD, has seen steady valuation gains and is closing in on the top 50 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization as of Dec. 25, 2025. The token’s rise has been consistent enough that, barring a reversal, RLUSD could surpass KuCoin Token (KCS) in the rankings. That momentum reflects growing demand for on‑chain US dollar liquidity tied to Ripple’s ecosystem.
If RLUSD breaks into the top 50 it would mark a notable shift for stablecoin market dynamics and add liquidity to XRP‑linked rails and trading pairs. Market participants should watch net issuance, exchange listings, trading volume and any regulatory developments affecting custody or redemption mechanics — all of which will determine whether RLUSD’s climb is sustainable or temporary.
