XRPL validator Vet recently tweeted about Ripple USD (RLUSD) stablecoin's impressive performance compared to its competitors. Vet claimed RLUSD is "the most capital-efficient stablecoin in the entire crypto market currently," boasting the highest volume-to-TVL ratio at 37%, significantly outperforming other leading stablecoins.

Vet's tweet included a comparison: RLUSD (37%), Tether USDT (34%), PayPal USD (6.5%), Circle USDC (14.26%), DAI (2.27%), and Ethena USD (2.1%).

According to CoinMarketCap's 24-hour volume/market cap index, RLUSD recorded a 39.49% ratio, exceeding Tether (36.45%), USDC (15.02%), and PayPalUSD (6.76%).

Since its December 2024 launch, RLUSD's market capitalization has surpassed $193.67 million (CoinMarketCap data), exceeding internal Ripple projections. Ripple executive Jack McDonald noted that this growth surpasses initial expectations, echoing Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse's earlier prediction of RLUSD becoming a top-five stablecoin by year's end.

RLUSD's trading volume surged 220% in the last 24 hours, reaching $81.2 million (CoinMarketCap), amidst broader cryptocurrency market volatility. Bitcoin fell 1.81% to $81,985, while XRP, Cardano (ADA), Solana (SOL), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Ether (ETH) experienced more significant losses (ranging from 2% to over 7%).
