CoinGape reports that Ripple’s stablecoin, RLUSD, is gaining attention as XRP takes a back seat, with Ripple’s Stablecoin Chief Jack McDonald targeting the $13 trillion corporate treasury market. Thinking Crypto host Tony Edward highlighted that payments and capital markets are driving this growth, noting that Ripple’s acquisition of GTreasury supports its institutional ambitions. Edward also pointed to Clearpool Finance’s proposal to migrate to the XRP Ledger based on new lending standards.
While Ripple commits to investing in XRP and RLUSD yield products, Edward remains bullish on XRP and continues buying dips. The focus on RLUSD coincides with the U.S. Senate’s upcoming vote on the CLARITY Act on September 15. White House crypto director Patrick Whitt described the timing as favorable, while billionaire Mike Novogratz stated that clarity is not dead despite ongoing talks.
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong called the bill right at the finish line, suggesting its passage could improve market sentiment. Edward predicted that approval might trigger a major rally for Bitcoin, describing it as a potential God candle on the chart.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for XRP, measured when this story was written up on 14 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
XRP is trading at $1.34 on Binance, with spot volume reaching $80,458,042 over the last 24 hours. The 1-hour buy ratio stands at 54.9%, indicating immediate buying pressure, while the 4-hour ratio has dropped to 45.9%, showing that momentum is fading over a slightly longer timeframe. The 24-hour buy ratio is 44.8%, confirming that sellers have dominated the day. This shift is reflected in the Volume Delta, which is positive at +$922,352 for the hour but negative at -$1,795,575 for four hours and -$8,415,524 for the day. Cumulative Volume Delta closed at -$8,480,565, meaning net selling has outweighed buying throughout the session. Buyers were active for only 5 of the 24 hours, suggesting that the recent price action was largely driven by short-term speculative inflows rather than sustained demand.
The latest daily buy ratio of 50.6% sits at the 83rd percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 48.5% - stronger buying than most days.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for XRP, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, XRP experienced a 5.8% price decline, with the 7-day average buy ratio sitting at 49.7%. Today’s 24-hour buy ratio of 44.8% is 4.9 points lower than that weekly average, indicating weaker-than-usual buyer interest. Trading volume today was just 0.49 times the weekly average, showing that activity has slowed significantly compared to the norm. The 8-day Volume Delta total was -$9,094,645, which aligns with the negative sentiment seen today. With only 3 of the past 7 days showing net buying, this represents a period of consistent selling pressure rather than an unusual spike in volatility.
