cryptobriefing.com reports that Ripple has positioned its RLUSD stablecoin to access a $13 trillion pipeline of corporate payment volume. This opportunity stems from Ripple’s October 2025 acquisition of GTreasury, a platform that processed that volume in fiat last year. On April 1, 2026, Ripple introduced native Digital Asset Accounts and a Unified Treasury feature to the platform.
These upgrades allow CFOs to manage RLUSD and XRP alongside traditional currencies in a single dashboard with real-time valuations. The system connects to over 13,000 banks and serves more than 1,000 customers, including Fortune 500 firms. Ripple Treasury SVP Renaat Ver Eecke stated that “digital assets have reached the CFO’s desk,” highlighting benefits for liquidity management.
CEO Brad Garlinghouse described the $13 trillion payments flow as untapped territory for digital asset settlement. By September 10, 2026, RLUSD reached a market capitalization of approximately $2.42 billion. The stablecoin holds approvals from the New York Department of Financial Services and the Dubai Financial Services Authority.
Its reserves are custodied by BNY Mellon with monthly attestations and dual oversight. A survey cited by Ripple found that 72% of finance leaders view digital asset integration as essential for competitive advantage.

The 1-hour buy ratio has dropped sharply to 12.4%, while the 4-hour ratio sits at 41.1%, showing that buying pressure is fading in the immediate term. Volume Delta reflects this weakness, with -$332,260 recorded in the last hour and -$12,290,208 over the past day. The Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) for the 24-hour close is -$5,122,641, confirming net selling pressure. Spot volume for the period reached $176,323,597 across 6,650 trades. Net buying occurred for only 11 of the 24 hours, suggesting inconsistent demand.

Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for RLUSD, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, RLUSD saw a 7-day average buy ratio of 62.9%, compared to the current 24-hour ratio of 46.5%, a difference of 16.3 percentage points. Volume has surged to 4.45 times the weekly average, with 24-hour spot volume of $176,323,597 significantly outpacing typical activity. The coin experienced net buying for all 7 days of the previous week, contrasting with the mixed flow seen today. Total Volume Delta for the 8-day period was positive at +$52,057,094, whereas the recent 24-hour delta is negative.
