Ripple blockchain behemoth has transferred close to 10 million $RLUSD stablecoins within a single hour. Several large transactions close to 2,000,000 $RLUSD each have taken place.

Earlier this week, Ripple made an official launch of its new product in the crypto space and has begun to transfer $RLUSD to cryptocurrency exchanges for users to begin using it for trading, payments and remittance.

Ripple CTO addresses wallet integrating $RLUSD

Earlier today, Ripple chief technology officer (CTO) David Schwartz took to the X social media network to highlight, in a somewhat sarcastic manner, one of the platforms will begin work with the new stablecoin – Bifrost wallet.

In his tweet, Schwartz published a poll, asking the correct way to pronounce the wallet’s title, Bifrost. Should it be pronounced “beef-roast” or “buy-frost?” The Ripple CTO is well-known for his sarcastic and acid tweets, regarding not only the crypto space but other industries and life spheres as well.

Earlier today, Ripple shared a video, in which the Chief Revenue and Marketing Officer at Uphold, Nancy Beaton, spoke about the benefits of the new stablecoin for users, saying that $RLUSD sets new standards in this sphere and will definitely bring “efficiency, speed and transparency to global payments.”

In a recent interview, Ripple President Monica Long highlighted that $RLUSD will be fully transparent and compliant to enter the $160 billion market of stablecoins, which is expected to expand to a whopping $3 trillion within the next four years. Long stressed that Ripple created $RLUSD to continue bridging traditional finance and the blockchain sphere.
