XRP rise as investors shift focus to utility and stability

XRP is gaining momentum in Singapore as new data indicates a clear rise in investor interest. Along with this trend, Ripple's stablecoin RLUSD is also drawing attention, signaling a shift in the region's cryptocurrency preferences. According to the Singapore Independent Cryptocurrency Reserve Index Report 2025, the ownership of XRP has risen from 14 percent to 17 percent within a year. The survey shows that 1,500 residents ranked XRP after two other altcoins in terms of top growth. Ethereum is the biggest winning coin among altcoins, rising from 41 percent to 48 percent. Solana and Dogecoin increased by two and one percent respectively. These changes are due to investors adding more types of assets to their portfolios. The report indicates that stablecoins are on the rise, primarily due to leading examples tied to the US dollar. In particular, RLUSD supported by Ripple has reached a market value of over 310 million USD in just a few months. XRP Rises As Investors Shift Focus To Utility And Stability Stablecoins are becoming the preferred choice for many investors in the region. Forty-six percent of respondents reported having held stablecoins at some point, with 21 percent currently holding them and 25 percent having done so in the past. A significant 83 percent expressed a preference for USD-backed stablecoins. The increasing number of RLUSD investment portfolios shows the interest in digital assets that provide stability. Therefore, more and more investors are shifting to safe investments as the market continues to rise. About 94 percent of respondents reported that they are aware of at least one type of cryptocurrency. Nine out of ten people have heard of Bitcoin, and nearly three-quarters of cryptocurrency holders keep it in their investment portfolio. Although blockchain is being used more widely today, investment has not increased significantly. Only about 10 percent of the investment group spends more than 1,000 USD each month. Most people in Singapore keep their investment low, with 57 percent spending under 500 USD a month and 29 percent investing between 500 and 1,000 USD. As both XRP and RLUSD continue to draw attention, Singapore is shaping up to be a key player in the regional cryptocurrency trend. The growing interest from more investors in these assets indicates changes taking place in the digital financial world across the Asia-Pacific.

The increasing popularity of XRP and the solid position of RLUSD in the market reflects changes in the preferences of investors in Singapore. As more people in China become aware and their investment portfolios change, this could pave the way for wider adoption of ESG investing across Asia.
