- RLUSD recorded zero burns while nearly $959,000 worth of tokens minted.
- XRP Ledger overtook Ethereum as the largest network hosting RLUSD supply today.
- Japan approved RLUSD, supporting Ripple’s expanding regulated stablecoin adoption across Asia.
Ripple USD (RLUSD) recorded an unusual supply event on June 29 after no tokens were burned during the first hours of the day. Data from Ripple’s stablecoin tracker showed zero RLUSD burns while nearly $959,000 worth of new tokens entered circulation, making it one of the rare occasions the stablecoin has gone without a recorded redemption.
Although the trading day remains underway, the absence of burn activity has attracted market attention because RLUSD has typically registered burns even during periods of limited minting. As a result, traders and ecosystem participants continue monitoring whether any redemption transactions emerge before the day closes.
Ripple has regularly adjusted RLUSD’s circulating supply through minting and burn activity across supported networks. However, the current balance between zero burns and new issuance differs from recent supply patterns, where redemptions remained common despite slower minting activity.
RLUSD’s circulating supply currently stands at approximately $1.56 billion. That figure remains below its previous peak of roughly $1.7 billion reached earlier this year, reflecting continued supply management as adoption expands.

XRP Ledger Strengthens Its Position in RLUSD Distribution
The rare zero-burn event comes as the XRP Ledger continues increasing its share of the RLUSD supply. Current on-chain data shows the network now hosts approximately $810 million worth of RLUSD, while Ethereum holds about $759 million.
That shift followed increased customer redemptions on Ethereum, where larger burn volumes reduced the stablecoin’s circulating supply. Meanwhile, RLUSD demand on the XRP Ledger remained relatively stable, allowing the network to overtake Ethereum as the largest host of the stablecoin.
This milestone also carries broader significance for the XRP Ledger ecosystem. Institutions and exchanges integrating RLUSD gain direct access to infrastructure built on XRPL because the stablecoin is natively issued on the network. Consequently, additional XRP Ledger-based assets may benefit from easier integration across those platforms.
Growing institutional use has positioned RLUSD as an important contributor to XRPL adoption. As more regulated financial products utilize the stablecoin, activity on the network could continue expanding alongside its payment infrastructure.
Last week, Ripple secured another milestone after Japan approved RLUSD under the country’s Payment Services Act. The approval classifies the stablecoin as an electronic payment instrument that meets Japan’s regulatory standards for foreign-issued stablecoins.
Market Watches Next Supply Update
The combination of zero recorded burns, continued minting activity, and the XRP Ledger’s growing dominance has made RLUSD supply movements a closely watched development. While additional transactions could still occur before the day ends, the current data highlights an uncommon supply pattern that differs from recent months.
RLUSD’s rare zero-burn day coincides with growing adoption across the XRP Ledger and continued regulatory progress in international markets. Together, those developments reflect Ripple’s ongoing efforts to expand the stablecoin’s role within regulated digital asset ecosystems while strengthening the XRP Ledger’s position as its primary network.
