Following the buzz around Ripple’s recent milestone, where the leading blockchain firm achieved over $100 billion in payment volume, Reece Merrick, a senior executive at Ripple has highlighted the impressive growth of the Ripple stablecoin, RLUSD, over the period.
While Ripple’s USD (RLUSD) has continued to serve as a highly regulated stablecoin since its launch in 2025, the asset just hit $1 billion market capitalization less than a year after its launch.
Merrick highlighted the growth, attributing it to the rapid expansion of the use of the stablecoin worldwide.

Ripple burns 999,965 RLUSD on Ethereum
One of the internal drivers of RLUSD’s growth since its emergence is Ripple’s decisive control of the stablecoin’s circulating supply on both XRPL and Ethereum.
Just recently, Ripple burnt nearly $1 million worth of RLUSD tokens to reduce its supply from the Ethereum network.
This practice is conducted occasionally to boost the token’s scarcity while driving demand as a way to manage its value.
