Ripple USD (RLUSD)

The Arabian Post reports that Ripple is targeting corporate treasuries to expand the use of its stablecoin, RLUSD. McDonald, Ripple’s senior vice-president of stablecoins, stated the company aims to integrate RLUSD into daily corporate cash movements, including cross-border transfers and domestic payments. This strategy follows Ripple’s $1 billion acquisition of treasury-management software provider GTreasury in 2025.
The acquired business, now part of Ripple Treasury, serves approximately 1,200 corporate treasurers and chief financial officers. RLUSD’s circulating supply has reached about $2.4 billion, with roughly $1 billion on the XRP Ledger and $1.4 billion on Ethereum. Daily active RLUSD volume rose to about $750 million from $200 million last month, driven by payments and capital-markets transactions.
Ripple is positioning the token for institutional settlement and liquidity management while integrating it with broader treasury products. Additionally, Ripple plans to make RLUSD available in Europe through a dual-issuance structure to comply with the Markets in Crypto-Assets framework. The token is issued in the United States through Standard Custody & Trust Company and backed by US dollar deposits and short-term US Treasuries.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for RLUSD, measured when this story was written up on 13 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio's Binance spot data for RLUSD shows a price of $1.00 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 53.7% and a 4-hour buy ratio of 72.1%. These short-term ratios indicate strong immediate buying pressure, contrasting sharply with the 24-hour buy ratio of 30.7%. Volume delta data reflects this shift, showing a net inflow of +$17,105 in the last hour and +$3,960,289 over four hours, against a 24-hour outflow of -$10,064,733. The buy ratio measures the proportion of buy orders relative to total orders, while volume delta tracks the net value of buys minus sells. This suggests that while the day has seen net selling, recent hours have seen a surge in buyer dominance.
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.
Over the preceding week, the 7-day average buy ratio was 60.3%, making today's 24-hour ratio of 30.7% significantly lower by 29.6 points. Volume for the period was 0.45x the average, indicating lighter trading activity compared to typical days. Despite the lower volume and ratio, the coin saw net buying on 6 of the last 7 days, with a total 8-day volume delta of +$27,693,153. The price remained stable at +0.0% over the 8-day period. This context suggests that while recent short-term buying is strong, the broader daily trend has been less aggressive than the weekly average.
