American blockchain payments firm Ripple Labs Inc has intensified the testing of its stablecoin RLUSD. According to the Ripple Stablecoin Tracker, two simultaneous testings were recorded featuring minting and transfer on the XRP Ledger protocol. This test mint and transfer is the first reported testing for the Ripple USD token thus far this month.

Is The Ripple RLUSD Stablecoin Ready For Launch?

Over the past few months, Ripple Labs has sustained its RLUSD testing in its bid to join the fast growing stablecoin ecosystem. This latest mint features exactly 9,999,700 RLUSD tokens at XRP Ledger Index 146.

The transaction occured at the 92,505,016 Ledger with the purpose designated as Payment according to the XRPScan Explorer. To the committee’s amazement, the firm transferred all the minted RLUSD stablecoin from one Treasury account to the other.

The testing might just be booting as another related but bigger set of stablecoin transactions appeared on-chain shortly. Per the stablecoin tracker, this latest test features a total of 39,999,523 tokens. Interestingly, this latter minting took place on the Ethereum blockchain at Block 21316829.

Just like the completely minted tokens on the XRP Ledger, all of the stablecoin on the Ethereum Network were also moved to the a treasury address.

Meanwhile, these testing comes barely a week after reports that showed that Ripple Labs is on the verge of securing a major New York approval. Thought the timeline for this approval remain unknown, the expectations it will happen this year is high.

XRP In the Spotlight

Beyond the RLUSD stablecoin update, the broader XRP ecosystem is relishing the price of the digital currency. At the time of writing, XRP was changing hands for $2.758, up by 30.55% in 24 hours. Within this period, the coin soared from a low price of $2.094 to a high of $2.849.

As a former Ripple insider explained earlier, RLUSD stablecoin will pair with XRP to boost liquidity as it gains momentum in the payments ecosystem. This will ultimately favor the digital currency in the long term.

With the potential push for more regulatory clarity in the US, more related innovation might emerge to boost XRP price the more. One of these core projections is the potential XRP ETF approval that might become a reality under a new pro-crypto US SEC Chairman.
