Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin integrates with LMAX institutional infrastructure as XRP defends $2 support amid ETF inflows and 2017 pattern repetition.

Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin just scored a massive institutional adoption win. The integration with LMAX's trading infrastructure signals growing institutional confidence in XRP as technical patterns from 2017 reemerge across charts.

According to ChartNerdTA on X, Ripple will integrate RLUSD as core collateral across its institutional trading infrastructure with LMAX. This enables top-tier banks, brokers, and buy-side institutions to leverage RLUSD for enhanced cross collateral and CFD trading.

The move positions XRP at the center of institutional liquidity flows. LMAX operates one of the largest FX and crypto trading venues, processing billions in daily volume. With RLUSD now serving as collateral infrastructure, XRP gains direct exposure to institutional capital deployment.

ETF inflows continue building momentum behind the technical setup. WhaleInsider reported on X that ETF clients purchased $17.06 million worth of XRP, bringing total ETF-held net assets to $1.51 billion.
