Big Players dominate Ripple’s stablecoin (RLUSD) Market

Ripple’s stablecoin (RLUSD), saw an impressive spike in trading volume. The token’s total trading volume reached over $600 million despite having a market capitalization of only $53 million, placing it as the fourth most-traded stablecoin.

The trading volume on the RLUSD/USD pair at Bullish looks disproportionately high, according to a validator on XRP Ledger (XRPL); the pair has low liquidity, meaning that only a few players are accountable for such startling figures.

Notably, with six trading pairs with RLUSD listed just last week, the Bullish trading platform—represents over 96% of the stablecoin’s trading volume.

Uphold, a global multi-asset digital trading platform controls the fifth-largest RLUSD reserve.  Bitso, a cryptocurrency exchange based in Mexico, has the seventh-largest RLUSD wallet.
