Ripple USD (RLUSD)

cryptocurrency.com.tr reports that Ripple USD stablecoin is central to a proposed Stellar-XRPL bridge connecting regulated dollar liquidity with SL8 Social. The announcement describes STAR GATE as a planned bridge where Phase 1 will wrap XRP into sgXRP within SL8 Social. It also proposes sgRLUSD to extend dollar-denominated liquidity into the Stellar-based application environment directly. This integration would allow users to access wrapped representations without selling native XRP holdings, though the bridge remains a planned development until launch confirms operational availability.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for RLUSD, measured when this story was written up on 6 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
RLUSD trades at $0.9999 with a 24-hour buy ratio of 72.8%, indicating strong recent buying pressure compared to the 41.1% ratio in the last hour. The 24-hour volume delta is positive at $9,605,440, while the 1-hour delta is negative at -$72,407, suggesting that immediate selling is outweighing buying in the short term despite the longer-term trend. A positive volume delta means buyers are aggressively taking liquidity, whereas a negative delta indicates sellers are hitting bids. The 24-hour cumulative volume delta (CVD) stands at +$2,377,718, confirming that net buying has dominated the day's activity.
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 average buy ratio was 53.1%, making today's 24-hour ratio of 72.8% an unusually high level of buying interest. Weekly volume was 0.29x the average, indicating that this surge in buying occurred on significantly lower trading volume than usual. The 8-day volume delta totaled +$32,170,528, showing consistent accumulation over the period. While the price changed only -0.1% over eight days, the disparity between high buying ratios and low volume highlights a specific, intense but thin market reaction.
