Ripple Just Joined Open USD | XRP Holders Are Watching the Wrong Layer

Ripple just joined Open USD as a day-one integration partner, but the biggest signal may not be the one XRP holders expect. This video breaks down why Open USD is not just another stablecoin headline, why Ripple’s role matters, and why the real story may be the stablecoin distribution layer forming underneath banks, payment networks, fintechs, wallets, and public-chain ecosystems.

The key question is not whether Open USD instantly proves XRP demand. It does not. The deeper question is why Ripple would want to sit inside a shared stablecoin network while also building its own regulated stablecoin, custody stack, payments infrastructure, and settlement rails.
