Issuers don't pick the chain with the cleanest pitch. They pick the chain where buyers already show up.

The crossover looks like an XRP Ledger win, but the mechanics point to Ethereum redemptions doing the work.
RLUSD is tiny next to Tether and Circle, but Japan just made the race about permission, not size.

Stablecoin payments are no longer a slide deck when MoneyGram is staking coins and helping process blocks.

CUSHY is the institutional credit product stablecoin issuers were hoping nobody would build. Coinbase just built it.
