An aside thought, with how much cash Ripple is throwing at this….There may be a strong opportunity for eUSD if Reserve explores a shared RLUSD ↔ eUSD Curve pool.
Why this matters:
-
RLUSD already has a deep, heavily-incentivized Curve pool (~$60M+).
-
eUSD pools are still small, limiting routing and exit liquidity.
-
Combining Reserve’s Curve/CVX power + Ripple’s Merkl incentives could create a far more efficient liquidity plane than eUSD/USDC alone.
Key “if → then” questions:
-
If Reserve can deploy meaningful Curve gauge weight, then how much TVL/APY lift could a shared pool achieve?
-
If Ripple continues RLUSD Merkl incentives, then does stacking them with Reserve’s votes create better emissions efficiency for both sides?
-
If a shared pool could realistically reach $20–40M TVL, then it is a meaningful liquidity upgrade for eUSD vs. the current.
-
If eUSD gains deeper routing and visibility next to RLUSD, then does this strengthen the eUSD opportunity & broader RToken ecosystem?
- it would solve a few of my points above for “other fintechs” and us as well.
Potential upside (if numbers line up):
-
5–10× deeper liquidity for eUSD
-
Better emissions efficiency (your votes + their incentives)
-
A credible liquidity plane bridging decentralized and regulated USD assets
