Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin is set to launch on Tuesday, generating excitement and high bids from enthusiasts for early access. These individuals are willing to pay thousands of dollars for a fraction of RLUSD before its official release. Ripple's CTO, David Schwartz, believes people are paying high prices because they see value in being among the first to hold RLUSD, despite it not making financial sense. Ripple expects initial supply shortages to cause price volatility, but the stablecoin's price will stabilize once liquidity increases. The chaos and high bids are driven by hype and speculation, but Schwartz warns buyers not to FOMO into a stablecoin. Ripple has systems in place to keep RLUSD on track, including a strong redemption mechanism. Despite some initial bumps, Ripple is confident the market will stabilize quickly after launch.
