Although the XRP price is hovering above $2, a crypto analyst contends that this level is still low. Comparing XRPs current price action to its explosive rally in 2017, the analyst argues that the market has not recognized the full scope of the cryptocurrencys evolving fundamentals. XRP Price At $2.2 Is Still Undervalued Pumpius, a crypto analyst on X (formerly Twitter), firmly believes that the XRP price is poised for a stronger rally, arguing that a $2.21 target remains significantly undervalued. The market expert’s analysis starkly compares the current market positioning with its historic rally in 2017. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Shatters XRP Price Bullishness, Predicts Massive Crash To This Support Level Back in 2017, the altcoin skyrocketed from a low price of $0.005 to a staggering all-time high of $3.84, marking its most historic price rally. At its peak, XRP briefly overtook Ethereums market cap, securing the position of the second-largest cryptocurrency in the world, just behind Bitcoin. During this historic rally, the XRP price soared by an astonishing 64,000%, reflecting a monumental gain despite lacking real-world use cases, institutional backing, or regulatory clarity. According to Pumpius, this surge was purely driven by retail Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO), with no stablecoins, IPOs, or financial infrastructure supporting the cryptocurrencys rapid ascent. Fast-forward to today, and the landscape surrounding XRP has evolved significantly. Ripple Labs, an enterprise blockchain company and the largest holder of XRP, has launched its stablecoin, RLUSD, which indirectly strengthens XRPs position in the digital currency space. The company has also secured prime brokerages and regulatory clarity from the US, expanding Ripples market reach and creating a stable environment for XRPs growth. With an IPO allegedly in the pipeline, the infrastructure supporting XRP is more robust than ever, far exceeding the conditions seen in 2017. However, despite these developments and milestones, the altcoin’s price has yet to revisit its former all-time high and continues to trade above $2. As a result, Pumpius claims that the cryptocurrency has still not been activated, suggesting that it has not fully realized its potential or experienced the level of growth expected of it. Why This Time Could Be Different Unlike in 2017, the potential for XRP is no longer based on hype alone. Pumpiuss analysis estimates that if XRP were to repeat its historical 64,000% rally, starting from $2.21, its price could reach $1,414.40. Related Reading: Is The XRP Price Rally Over At $2.22? New Developments Suggest Major Pump Is Coming While this target is purely speculative, the number underscores the massive upside that could follow if institutional capital and real-world adoption combine with retail momentum. Pumpiuss commentary also includes a conspiracy narrative, alleging that powerful, unknown entities have worked behind the scenes to suppress XRPs rise. According to this theory, the analyst claims that the US SECs lawsuit against Ripple wasnt just about compliance but a calculated move to delay adoption and shake out retail momentum. The underlying message is that XRPs disruptive potential posed an early threat, allegedly leading to attempts to delay its growth and prevent widespread accumulation before institutions were ready to enter the market.

Users have performed over 100,000 transactions with Ripple's USD stablecoin RLUSD in the two months since it launched. This is according to a report released by CryptoQuant on Tuesday, February 4, highlighting the steady adoption of the Ripple-backed stablecoin.According to the crypto analytics firm, about 109,000 RLUSD transactions have been completed so far, 95% of them or about 105,000 on the XRP Ledger and only around 4,100 on Ethereum.RLUSD transaction count by network chart. Source: CryptoQuantRLUSD transaction count by network chart. Source: CryptoQuantCryptoQuant analyst Maartunn contended that the asset's higher uptake on the XRPL could be due to the network's greater efficiency and lower transaction costs compared to Ethereum.Another likely boost for RLUSD on the XRPL is its growing adoption in DeFi activity on the network following the recent automated market maker clawback amendment. According to xpmarket.com data at the time of writing, there are at least 66 liquidity pools based on the asset. The largest pool, XRP/RLUSD, boasts over $1.6 million in liquidity and has seen nearly 3,000 transactions in the past few days.Amid this adoption, the asset now boasts a market cap of over $108 million. While this is still miles away from the billions boasted by offerings from stablecoin leaders Tether and Circle, many expect the asset to benefit from incoming regulations and expected integration with Ripple's cross-border payments business later this year.At the same time, more networks may be set to integrate the asset. For example, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has suggested he is open to bringing RLUSD to Cardano.Meanwhile, the asset has also yet to receive support from popular exchanges like Binance, Coinbase, and Kraken, which could also be preventing more users from onboarding.
RLUSD, the dollar-pegged Ripple stablecoin has hit a "huge milestone."This is according to a recent report from leading crypto analytics platform CryptoQuant. The report by leading analyst J.A. Maartunn highlights that RLUSD has hit a total supply of $120 million within its first two months of launch amid growing adoption. Specifically, the total stablecoin supply now sits around $120.8 million.As the analyst highlighted, the bulk of the supply, about $83.3 million RLUSD, sits on Ethereum, while only about $37.4 million RLUSD is on the XRP Ledger. Still, he noted that the XRPL has dominated supply growth in recent weeks. On the other hand, the stablecoin's supply on Ethereum has largely remained stable after initially accelerating in the first few weeks, highlighting a shift in demand dynamics.RLUSD supply by network. Source: CryptoQuantRLUSD supply by network. Source: CryptoQuantMaartunn attributed the demand shift to the lower fees on the XRPL compared to Ethereum. Another likely contributing factor is the rapid integration of the asset in the XRPL's DeFi ecosystem. At the time of writing, xpmarket data shows 80 liquidity pools denominated in the stablecoin.The recent supply feat comes on the heels of the stablecoin reaching a milestone of 100,000 transactions earlier in the month. In line with the growing demand on the XRPL, 95% of RLUSD transactions at the time were recorded on the network.Despite these feats, RLUSD is still miles away from offering any real competition to established players like Tether and Circle, whose flagship products, USDT and USDC, boast market capitalizations of $142 billion and $56 billion, respectively.However, many anticipate that this status quo may change with greater support for RLUSD from leading exchanges like Binance and Coinbase. At the same time, Ripple has yet to integrate the asset into its leading payments business.RLUSD has been tipped to bolster XRP liquidity and DeFi activity by serving as an easy on-ramp for market participants and a stable unit of value for offerings like loans.

As the Ripple stablecoin, RLUSD, becomes publicly available, the company has appointed several influential figures to its advisory board.Among the most prominent names is Raghuram Rajan, a former director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). This appointment caught the attention of the XRP community, with several commentators discussing the strategic significance of including such high-profile figures in the RLUSD project.Expertise Rajan Brings to Ripple Stablecoin Advisory BoardRajan served as the IMF's Director of Research and Chief Economist from 2003 to 2006. Later, he became the 23rd Governor of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) from September 2013 to September 2016. While at the RBI, he also became Vice-Chairman of the Bank for International Settlements in 2015.In 2005, at the Federal Reserve's annual Jackson Hole conference, Rajan warned about the increasing risks in the financial system. While predicting a potential financial crisis, he suggested measures to mitigate these risks. Former U.S. Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers initial dismissed his predictions, labeling them as "misguided." However, after the 20072008 financial crisis, Rajan's warnings were widely recognized as prescient.In November 2008, Rajan took on the role of honorary economic adviser in India, contributing policy notes. In August 2012, he was appointed Chief Economic Adviser to India's Ministry of Finance.Now, Raghuram Rajan is joining the RLUSD advisory board to offer expert guidance on financial, regulatory, and operational matters, helping to ensure the stability and growth of Ripple's stablecoin. Rajan Bullish Comment on RLUSD LaunchCommenting on the launch of RLUSD, Rajan expressed that stablecoins have the potential to become the backbone of payments. According to him, they provide a secure and efficient alternative to traditional systems.He specifically highlighted that RLUSD, with its focus on compliance and reliability, aims to set new standards for trust and play a key role in shaping the future of payments."Joining the Advisory Board allows me to counsel RLUSD as it embarks on its journey in the rapidly evolving financial landscape, Rajan concluded.Other Big Names in Ripple's RLUSD Advisory BoardIn the advisory role, Rajan will collaborate with Kenneth Montgomery, former Chief Operating Officer of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. Besides, Ripple's RLUSD advisory board already includes notable figures such as former FDIC Chair Sheila Bair, David Puth, Vice Chairman of Partners Capital, and Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen.
