President Donald Trump has signed an executive order banning federal agencies from establishing or promoting central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). This move is expected to benefit decentralized stablecoins like Ripple's RLUSD, which is pegged to the U.S. dollar. With RLUSD operating on the XRP Ledger and not controlled by a central authority, it offers transparency and a user-driven alternative for digital transactions. Ripple's established network and expertise in cross-border payments make RLUSD well-positioned for widespread adoption. The ban on CBDCs is also expected to drive innovation in the private sector as businesses and individuals seek decentralized alternatives to digital fiat.
