bitcoinethereumnews.com reports that Ripple’s expanding supply of its stablecoin, RLUSD, has propelled its total market value beyond the $2 billion threshold. The American company has accelerated fresh issuances of RLUSD across the Ethereum and XRP Ledger networks. Known for its focus on enterprise payment and blockchain solutions, this steady expansion marks a significant milestone for the asset.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for RLUSD, measured when this story was written up on 31 August 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
On Binance spot, RLUSD trades at $1.00 with a 24-hour buy ratio of 51.0%, indicating balanced activity over the day. However, shorter-term pressure has shifted, with the 1-hour buy ratio at 39.1% and the 4-hour ratio at 35.1%, showing that recent buying interest is fading compared to the daily average. Volume Delta reflects this shift, turning negative at -$384,792 for the hour and -$1,410,240 for the four-hour window, while remaining positive at +$502,615 for the full day. This suggests that while net buying occurred earlier in the period, recent trades have favored sellers, reducing the cumulative positive flow.
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.
Twenty-four hours later
What RLUSD did over the 23 hours after the story broke. The market moves for its own reasons; this is what happened, not what the story caused.
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 56.5%, making today’s 24-hour ratio of 51.0% notably lower by 5.5 percentage points. Spot volume also declined significantly, sitting at 0.33x the weekly average, indicating reduced participation. While the 8-day Volume Delta was positive at +$113,434,358, today’s activity represents a slowdown in momentum. With only 4 of 7 days showing net buying, this day aligns with a broader trend of mixed sentiment rather than a sudden spike.
