Mastercard, stablecoin settlement, and RLUSD: stablecoins doing real settlement work

Mastercard, stablecoin settlement, and RLUSD put stablecoins to work as settlement money. Every part of it traces back to a named, primary source.

The Settlement Layer

This material is about fiat-denominated value moving through the ecosystem, usually via issuance or settlement. The primary source is the Mastercard announcement, with supporting material from the Ripple/Mastercard/WebBank/Gemini RLUSD pilot.

What This Means For XRPL

What it changes for the Ripple and XRP Ledger ecosystem: stablecoin activity can improve how useful a network is for payments and treasury operations.
