XRP is soaring after its creator, Ripple, announced that its planned and unrelated RLUSD stablecoin has finally received regulatory approval and is preparing to launch “soon.”
XRP is up 11% in the last 24 hours, after stumbling briefly on Tuesday as investors rushed to unload altcoins. The coin’s value rose from $1.98 to a high of $2.46, amid news that Ripple’s highly-anticipated stablecoin, which has been in development since April, is preparing to debut.
