What to Know
- Ripple burns 10 million RLUSD following a massive 69 million mint.
- Consecutive RLUSD burns remove nearly 11 million tokens from circulation.
- Ripple adjusts stablecoin liquidity across the XRP Ledger and Ethereum networks.
Ripple’s stablecoin treasury operations recorded a major shift after blockchain monitoring data revealed that millions of RLUSD tokens were removed from circulation, marking the largest burn since the stablecoin launched and occurring shortly after a significant minting event expanded supply earlier this month.
According to Ripple Stablecoin Tracker, Ripple burned 10,000,000 RLUSD through a single treasury transaction that was executed on the XRP Ledger, which serves as one of the two blockchain networks currently supporting the RLUSD stablecoin infrastructure.
The transaction immediately reduced the circulating supply visible across blockchain explorers and became the largest RLUSD burn recorded so far, arriving shortly after another supply adjustment detected across Ripple’s treasury activity only a day earlier.
Consecutive RLUSD Burns Reduce Circulating Supply
Blockchain monitoring data also shows that Ripple burned 999,965 RLUSD through a separate transaction executed on the Ethereum network, which hosts the second portion of the stablecoin’s blockchain-based infrastructure.
Together, these two treasury operations removed nearly eleven million RLUSD from circulation within a short timeframe, highlighting the scale and speed of Ripple’s supply management actions during the past several days.

These reductions followed several minting operations carried out earlier in March when Ripple expanded the stablecoin’s liquidity to meet operational demand across its payment infrastructure. Treasury records show that the company minted 6,000,000 RLUSD and later issued another 1,000,000 RLUSD on March 9, increasing the available supply across supported blockchain networks.
Another supply adjustment also occurred days earlier when Ripple burned 4,500,000 RLUSD on March 8, continuing a pattern of frequent treasury operations designed to balance liquidity conditions.
However, the most significant supply expansion occurred at the beginning of March when Ripple minted 69,000,000 RLUSD in a single transaction, which remains the largest issuance recorded since the stablecoin entered circulation.
Ripple Adjusts RLUSD Supply Through Treasury Operations
RLUSD currently operates across two blockchain networks, including the XRP Ledger and Ethereum, allowing Ripple to distribute liquidity across multiple ecosystems while maintaining operational flexibility.
Stablecoin burns generally occur when users redeem RLUSD tokens for the underlying dollar reserves backing the asset, which results in those redeemed tokens being permanently removed from circulation through the burn process.
New RLUSD tokens enter circulation when demand increases across Ripple’s payment infrastructure or institutional settlement systems, allowing the treasury to adjust supply levels while maintaining the stablecoin’s dollar-backed structure. The latest burn of ten million RLUSD now stands as the largest supply reduction recorded since the stablecoin’s launch.
