Ripple’s stablecoin, RLUSD , has reached a significant milestone, $3 billion in monthly transaction volume, just months after its launch. This explosive growth was spotlighted by crypto analyst X Finance Bull, who emphasized a key detail that has caught the XRP community’s attention: every RLUSD transaction burns XRP. Launched in late 2024 with regulatory approval from the New York Department of Financial Services, RLUSD is Ripple’s U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin built on the XRP Ledger. Since its debut, it has gained traction across crypto exchanges, wallets, and on-chain applications. Its rapid adoption marks one of the most aggressive expansions for any stablecoin in the ecosystem, and it’s still early days. BOOM! $RLUSD just hit $3B in monthly volume. Every transaction burns $XRP This is still early-stage adoption, launched months ago IT'S GROWING PARABOLICALLY Imagine when this hits trillions in volume. Now imagine still sleeping on XRP pic.twitter.com/9rsr2lrq6M — X Finance Bull (@Xfinancebull) July 30, 2025 The Burn Mechanism Every transaction on the XRP Ledger, including those involving RLUSD, incurs a small fee paid in XRP. That fee is permanently burned, effectively reducing the total supply of XRP over time. While the burn per transaction is tiny, typically just 0.00001 XRP, the impact becomes more meaningful when scaled across billions of dollars in monthly volume. This deflationary mechanism is built into the ledger’s core protocol. As transaction volume grows, so does the cumulative amount of XRP burned, potentially creating long-term supply pressure that may support price appreciation. Real-World Supply Dynamics RLUSD isn’t just transacting, it’s actively circulating. In recent months, Ripple has minted and burned millions of RLUSD tokens in response to market demand. In April, 12 million RLUSD were burned . In June, another 20 million were redeemed and destroyed. Meanwhile, 14 million new tokens were minted in early July as usage surged, pushing the stablecoin’s market cap higher.

What This Means for XRP Hitting $3 billion in monthly volume marks a pivotal moment for RLUSD and XRP. As X Finance Bull points out, we’re still in the early stages. If RLUSD continues on its current trajectory, scaling into the tens or hundreds of billions, or even trillions, every month, the associated XRP burn could become a major factor in the token’s long-term value proposition. Each RLUSD transfer, no matter how small, chips away at XRP’s supply. Multiply that by billions of dollars in stablecoin volume, and the deflationary effect becomes significant. For XRP holders, this could mean increasing scarcity over time, paired with a rising demand curve as real-world utility expands. The message is clear: this isn’t just a stablecoin milestone. It’s a glimpse into XRP’s evolving role in a growing on-chain economy. Disclaimer : This content is meant to inform and should not be considered financial advice.
