Ripple Reveals Yield Strategies for Stablecoin Holders Using RLUSD



Ripple's Senior Vice President of Stablecoins, Jack McDonald, has outlined two key approaches for users to earn yield from their stablecoin holdings. Speaking on the company's “Crypto in a Minute” educational video series, McDonald explained how holders can turn idle assets into yield-generating tools by leveraging Ripple’s ecosystem and broader DeFi platforms.

McDonald highlighted that one way for users to earn yield is by investing in interest-bearing stablecoins. This involves placing funds into digital dollar reserves that support these stablecoins. However, this option remains limited to specific jurisdictions and is not widely available due to regulatory constraints.

Utilizing DeFi and liquidity protocols


Another approach shared by McDonald includes allocating stablecoins into decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols. Users can lock their assets as collateral in lending platforms like Aave or provide liquidity to automated market makers (AMMs). According to Ripple, this on-chain method provides a more active way for users to derive financial returns using stablecoins.

While discussing alternative methods, McDonald also acknowledged that depositing stablecoins into savings accounts is an option, although it typically offers lower returns. Compared to DeFi and interest-bearing assets, this method provides reduced yield potential but may appeal to users seeking simplicity and lower risk.

Ripple aims to expand stablecoin utility


The company is promoting these strategies as part of a broader push to increase stablecoin utility across its ecosystem. According to Ripple’s official communication, the emergence of a “yield engine” signals a transition from simple digital dollar usage to more advanced on-chain financial tools.



Separately, Ripple’s Managing Director for the Middle East and Africa, Reece Merrick, stated that XRP has now achieved confirmed regulatory status as a non-security digital asset in the United States. Merrick attributed this development to prior court rulings and emphasized that few digital assets have obtained such definitive classification.

Despite this regulatory milestone, Ripple’s leadership stressed that the overall U.S. regulatory framework for digital assets remains underdeveloped. According to Merrick, the lack of updated regulations continues to restrict innovation for crypto businesses operating in the country.

Analyst: Bitcoin can reclaim $100K without a new narrative

Bitcoin has stalled below the $100,000 threshold, marking a run of almost five months without a breakout above that level. As of the latest market close, BTC hovered around $78,250 after a February nadir of about $60,000, underscoring a slow, grinding recovery amid broader market dynamics. In parallel, tech markets—especially AI-focused equities—have captured the spotlight, with investors rotating capital away from crypto in search of different risk-reward profiles. Nvidia (NVDA), the leading AI stock by market cap, has gained about 5.08% since the start of the year, while Bitcoin has faced a roughly 10% dip over the same period, illustrating a diverging performance within risk assets. MN Trading Capital founder Michael van de Poppe suggested that Bitcoin may not require a fresh narrative to push back above $100,000. In a post on X, he asked what narrative would drive BTC to the milestone and concluded that “price moves upwards, and the narrative will create itself.” He continued that ...
