Key Takeaways:
Ripple USD (RLUSD) also received a new push in terms of activity as the stablecoin gained momentum. As indicated by the most recent CoinMarketCap data, the latest RLUSD is holding on well in the group of the most actively traded selections, suggesting a potential use case and not a quick sale.

In a relatively short time, RLUSD has attracted over $215 million of transaction volume within 24 hours. This is a remarkable number in terms of a USD-pegged stable coin, especially in the context that all the market is shrinking back.
Contrast to tokens with strong fluctuations – often suffering deep decreases after each several weeks, RLUSD still holds its stability of around $1.00 milestone. CoinMarketCap shows a familiar model of stablecoin: prices nearly do not change but the transaction flows are significant. This often reflects practical usage demand as trading pairs, liquidity and payment coordinator, instead of speculative holding.
Having a market cap of approximately $1.33 billion, RLUSD is already in proximity to the tokens such as KuCoin Token (KCS) and MYX Finance, which are already losing their presence. The difference between the RLUSD and the 50th position is no longer tremendous, and thus changes will rather concern whose momentum is declining than the flows.

The general crypto market has been devoid of strength with many of the mid-capital investments losing into single digits within the last seven days. Traders in that mix would rather shift cash in stablecoins to remain liquid but with less risk.
That rotation wave must be the one that RLUSD is riding on. Although coins such as NEAR, ICP, and ETF maintain a red streak on the weekly chart, those of RLUSD remain flat and yet busy. That is the red flag: high volume but no price movements are indicative that it is core infrastructure and not a meme coin.
Other traders are hoarding stabilized coins in centralized exchanges in the hope that volatility will rebound. The increase in RLUSD on the large venues will allow it to be more visible in this cycle change.
Prior to the recent explosion, Ripple inserted another 10 million RLUSD to the XRP Ledger. That action corresponded with increased demand for transactions and maintained liquidity. Increasing supply is not the way to climb up ranks, but it is a support of constant use, without leakages.

Wormhole’s native token has had a tough time since launch, debuting at $1.66 before dropping significantly despite the general crypto market’s bull cycle. Wormhole, an interoperability protocol facilitating asset transfers between blockchains, announced updated tokenomics to its native Wormhole (W) token, including a token reserve and more yield for stakers. The changes could affect the protocol’s governance, as staked Wormhole tokens allocate voting power to delegates.According to a Wednesday announcement, three main changes are coming to the Wormhole token: a W reserve funded with protocol fees and revenue, a 4% base yield for staking with higher rewards for active ecosystem participants, and a change from bulk unlocks to biweekly unlocks.“The goal of Wormhole Contributors is to significantly expand the asset transfer and messaging volume that Wormhole facilitates over the next 1-2 years,” the protocol said. According to Wormhole, more tokens will be locked as adoption takes place and revenue filters back to the company.Read more
