  • Ripple's Preliminary EU MiCA Approval Raises Questions on RLUSD and XRP Impact in Europe
    June 28, 2026, 12:06 PM EDT. Ripple received a preliminary Luxembourg crypto-asset service provider (CASP) license under the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework, allowing it to offer regulated services across 30 EEA countries pending final conditions. Despite this regulatory milestone, investors remain cautious about the XRP token's value driver, as Ripple's license ownership does not directly translate to increased activity on the XRP Ledger (XRPL). While Ripple's regulated stablecoin RLUSD's supply declined over 30 days, XRPL stablecoin value grew by over 20%, challenging XRP's current $1.05 price near a $65.5 billion market cap. The EU's July 1, 2026, MiCA enforcement deadline heightens the license's strategic importance, but tangible XRP Ledger usage remains the critical question for investors assessing Ripple's European payments push.
