cryptocurrency.com.tr reports that the XRP Ledger recorded a significant jump in its stablecoin supply during the first week of October 2026, climbing to approximately $1.33 billion. This represents an increase of 14.6% in just seven days and a net addition of nearly $169 million to the ecosystem. The growth is driven almost entirely by RLUSD, which accounts for around 93% of all stablecoin liquidity on the network with $1.24 billion concentrated on the ledger. With this expansion, the network moves closer in the stablecoin-by-blockchain ranking to platforms such as Avalanche and Plasma.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for RLUSD, measured when this story was written up on 5 October 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio data shows RLUSD trading at $1.00 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 94.0%, indicating strong immediate buying pressure compared to the 67.4% ratio over the last 4 hours. The 24-hour buy ratio stands at 79.2%, suggesting that while buying remains dominant, the intensity has moderated slightly from the peak seen in the last hour. Volume delta data reflects this activity, showing +$5,489,328 in the last hour and +$1,610,670 over 4 hours, against a 24-hour total of +$2,650,315. A positive volume delta means that the volume of buy orders has exceeded the volume of sell orders, pushing the price up. The cumulative volume delta (CVD) for the 24-hour period closed at +$32,548,834, confirming sustained net buying throughout the day.
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 64.0%, meaning the current 24-hour ratio of 79.2% represents a significant shift toward more aggressive buying. Spot volume for the last 24 hours was $4,542,650, which is 0.10x the weekly average, indicating that while buying pressure is high, the total volume traded is unusually low compared to typical days. This is an unusual day for the coin, as the volume is a fraction of the norm despite the high buy ratio. The preceding week saw 7 of 7 days with net buying, and the 8-day volume delta total was +$90,118,946. The price change over 8 days remained at 0.0%, showing that the buying pressure has not yet translated into price appreciation despite the consistent net inflows.
