Prominent XRP treasury company VivoPower International announced that its electric vehicle subsidiary now accepts payments in Ripple USD (RLUSD) stablecoin.  VivoPower unveiled the initiative yesterday, emphasizing that customers and partners of its electric vehicle subsidiary, Tembo, can now make payments in RLUSD. The support addresses inefficiencies in the cross-border payments sector, encompassing high transaction costs and lengthy wait times. RLUSD to Address Inefficiencies in Traditional Transfers The firm stated that these inefficiencies are evident in developing markets where its customers and partners incur high transaction costs. However, Tembo aims to streamline its international payment processes via RLUSD integration. It highlighted that RLUSD offers near-instant settlement at a fraction of the cost for traditional transfers. The press release also highlighted RLUSD’s key features, including its 1:1 peg to the US dollar. It also mentioned that the stablecoin is backed by short-term U.S. treasuries, USD deposits, and other cash equivalents. Beyond reducing VivoPower’s transaction costs, the adoption of RLUSD aims to improve efficiency, foster innovation, and expand the company’s digital treasury. Top Lawyer Reacts The announcement drew attention from the XRP community. Some proponents interpret the move as a positive development for the token. Meanwhile, legal expert Bill Morgan clarified that VivoPower’s subsidiary, Tembo, only supports RLUSD payment, not XRP itself. This clarification is important as some community members often assume that businesses adopting Ripple-related payment solutions also use XRP directly. In this case, VivoPower’s subsidiary adopted Ripple’s stablecoin RLUSD as a payment method.. https://twitter.com/Belisarius2020/status/1965152741241880738 Limited Impact on XRP? Although Ripple issues RLUSD on both the XRP Ledger (XRPL) and Ethereum, Morgan points out that the majority of its supply has been minted on Ethereum. This suggests that the latest RLUSD adoption may have a limited direct impact on XRP, given the stablecoin’s heavier presence on Ethereum. Earlier speculation suggested that rising demand for RLUSD could boost XRP activity. This is partly because transactions involving RLUSD on the XRPL require fees to be paid in XRP, which also drives demand for the native token. However, since RLUSD is primarily minted on Ethereum, as Morgan suggested, VivoPower’s adoption of the stablecoin may have only a limited impact on XRP. At the time of writing, RLUSD has a total market capitalization of $728.33 million. XRP trades at $3.03, up over 4% today. Meanwhile, VivoPower is no stranger to the XRP community. Following its $121 million fundraiser, VivoPower disclosed plans to establish an XRP-focused reserve. It also unveiled plans to acquire $100 million worth of Ripple shares, alongside 211 million XRP tokens from the company’s holdings at discounted rates.Prominent XRP treasury company VivoPower International announced that its electric vehicle subsidiary now accepts payments in Ripple USD (RLUSD) stablecoin.  VivoPower unveiled the initiative yesterday, emphasizing that customers and partners of its electric vehicle subsidiary, Tembo, can now make payments in RLUSD.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
