Out of all the trades, 92% occurred as Token/XRP pairs, while Token/Token pairs represented the remaining 8%. Auto-bridging only occurred in 0.8% of Token/Token transactions, highlighting XRP’s dominance as a bridge asset. The volume of XRP used for liquidity amounted to around 15,000 tokens, supporting better pricing and smoother transactions for traders.
RLUSD and XRP’s Key Role in Auto-Bridging
RLUSD, the Brazilian Real stablecoin, appeared in many of the auto-bridging events, making it the most traded currency during the 24 hours. XRP acted as a crucial bridge in these trades, increasing liquidity and improving exchange rates.
According to Vet, an XRPL dUNL validator, “XRP’s role as a bridge currency complements stablecoins like RLUSD rather than competing with them.”
Market makers also benefit from holding XRP, as it allows them to create markets between XRP pairs without counterparty risk. This makes XRP an effective tool for building markets across issued tokens. As the XRP Ledger’s decentralized exchange continues to evolve, the integration of XRP in bridging trades increases, providing liquidity for less common token pairs and making the system more efficient for users.
