experienced a historic rally in November 2024 due to political tailwinds and new ecosystem developments. Georgios Vlachos, co-founder of the Axelar open-source interoperability platform — which is the canonical bridge connecting XRP Ledger to the XRPL EVM chain and 69 other blockchains — told Cointelegraph that the upcoming RLUSD stablecoin will likely boost demand for XRP in 2025.
Vlachos said that many people, including those in emerging economies, use stablecoins as a method of transaction and a store of value. RLUSD transactions and remittances will mostly settle on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) and the XRP-EVM sidechain, driving demand for XRP. Vlachos told Cointelegraph:
"When you do those transfers, you pay for gas in XRP. So, the XRP holders are still going to benefit because you burn some XRP every time you do a transaction."
XRP climbed to a seven-year high of approximately $2.90 on Dec. 3, 2024, but pulled back to current price levels after the Relative Strength Index (RSI) hit 95, indicating the asset was overbought. Despite the pullback, several catalysts have sustained investor attention for XRP going into 2025.
