David Schwartz is the CTO of Ripple and has warned potential investors against buying Ripple USD(RLUSD) before its launch.

Schwartz stated:

“If you want to spend a lot of money to get a tiny bit of RLUSD before anyone else does, you can. But please don’t expect the price to stay over $1 once things stabilize, which I expect they will do very quickly.”

Schwartz also stressed that people who pay excessive prices shouldn’t expect long-term profits. A stablecoin’s primary function is maintaining parity with its fiat counterpart, such as the US dollar. He warned against buying RLUSD out of fear, saying that it is not a speculative investment.
