According to bitcoinethereumnews.com, autonomous AI agents utilizing XRP Ledger infrastructure for continuous settlements are increasingly favoring regulated stablecoins over native crypto assets. This shift is attributed to data from the XRPL AI Hub, which indicates a large-scale preference for stablecoins in on-chain payment activity. The report also notes that BlackRock has issued a new prediction regarding the market. Specific details on the nature of the AI agents' operations or the content of BlackRock's prediction are not provided in the available excerpt.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for RLUSD, measured when this story was written up on 26 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio's spot data for RLUSD shows a price of $1.00 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 88.4%, indicating intense short-term buying pressure. However, this momentum has faded significantly over the last 4 hours, where the buy ratio dropped to 12.4%. The 24-hour buy ratio sits at 60.2%, suggesting that while buying is dominant over the day, it is not as aggressive as the immediate hour. The 1-hour volume delta is positive at $431,923, contrasting with a negative 4-hour delta of -$740,280. This means that while buyers are currently aggressive, the last four hours have seen more selling volume than buying volume. Over the full day, the cumulative volume delta is +$18,672,615, with a closing CVD of +$21,108,854, confirming net buying dominance for the period.
The latest daily buy ratio of 39.6% sits at the 19th percentile of the last 267 days, against a median of 52.6% - weaker buying than most days.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for RLUSD, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Compared to the preceding week, today's 24-hour buy ratio of 60.2% is higher than the 7-day average of 54.1%, representing a 6.1 percentage point increase. Trading volume today was 1.15x the weekly average, indicating above-average activity. The coin experienced net buying on 5 of the last 7 days, with a total 8-day volume delta of +$72,945,258. This suggests that while today is an unusual day for heightened buying intensity, it aligns with a broader weekly trend of net accumulation. The price remained stable at $1.00 with no change over the 8-day period despite the volume surge.
