The post XRPL Adoption Surges Amid RLUSD Test, Price decline appeared com. The XRP Ledger (XRPL) is seeing a significant surge in utility and on-chain activity, driven by the commencement of stablecoin testing by global financial giants. Despite these powerful fundamental signals-including a 12% price gain and a record number of new wallets-XRP’s market value continues to decline. This creates a sharp divergence.
