It's so funny that the anti $XRP crowd is constantly taking shots at the idea of Ripple selling XRP, but then also screaming that $RLUSD replaced XRP. The main reason I find this funny is because Tether reported RECORD revenue in 2025 because of $USDT Ultimately the more success for RLUSD means less and less selling of XRP from Ripple. I didn't even mention all of the Ripple products that also make them a ton of money too. If we are being honest here RLUSD strengthens the XRP war chest that Ripple holds, I do believe they will still provide institutions XRP exposure probably through OTC sales, but this won't affect the spot value anyway. RLUSD is bullish for XRP in multiple ways, but the biggest way is replacing one of Ripple's core revenue streams i.e. selling XRP in prior years. They got rid of the public XRP disclosures in 2025 for a reason, it was at the same time they acquired multiple tech stack companies + RLUSD started growing. I think this is because Ripple NO LONGER needs to depend on XRP sales for significant revenue. So now going forward sales from Ripple will most likely be OTC and it would be strategic in the sense that they want maximum distribution of XRP instead of billions being locked in escrow held by one company.
