Updated: Jan 09 2026- Market Injection: Ripple's strategic move to inject $40 million into the market through two separate $20 million transactions sent directly to a Gemini-linked address has resulted in a wallet now holding 98.3 million RLUSD, significantly heightening speculation within the XRP community regarding Ripple's future actions.
- Stablecoin Market Dynamics: Despite the absence of a public announcement, Ripple's stablecoin maintains a market capitalization of $1.33 billion with a daily trading volume of $110.7 million, indicating its active presence and potential influence in the market.
- Regulatory Milestone: Ripple has successfully registered with the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), allowing it to conduct specific crypto-related activities, marking a key step in expanding Ripple's legal footprint in the global market.
