- RLUSD daily transaction volume has reached $10 billion across Ripple’s ecosystem in 2025
- RLUSD supply on Ethereum surged from $100 million in February to over $300 million by May
- Demand for RLUSD increased as stablecoins gain traction in DeFi and cross-border payments
Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin has reached a new milestone, allowing $10 billion in daily transaction volume throughout its ecosystem. This figure shows a major shift in activity across Ripple’s blockchain networks, with the RLUSD token seeing accelerating adoption in 2025. The increase in daily volume corresponds to RLUSD’s most active period since its introduction, confirming its expanding role in digital financial transactions.
A major factor behind the surge in RLUSD volume is its supply growth on the Ethereum blockchain. Since January 2025, RLUSD’s supply has almost doubled, according to public blockchain data. The expansion began to accelerate in February, when supply stood at $100 million. By April, that figure had doubled to $200 million, and by May, RLUSD’s supply on Ethereum exceeded $300 million.
This supply growth signals increased utility for RLUSD, with the stablecoin now widely used within decentralized finance protocols and payment applications built on Ethereum. The supply surge aligns with the spike in transaction activity, reflecting a growing preference for dollar-pegged assets in blockchain-based finance.
Stable Peg and Transaction Demand
RLUSD is structured as a stablecoin with a 1:1 peg to the U.S. dollar. The fixed peg is built to offer a reliable store of value and means of exchange, particularly during periods of crypto market volatility. Data shows that demand for RLUSD has risen steadily through 2025, with the stablecoin serving both retail and institutional use cases in DeFi and cross-border payments.
The increased supply and consistent peg have enabled RLUSD to meet higher transaction volumes without disruption, supporting a wide range of blockchain-based activities. The stablecoin’s role as a transactional bridge within Ripple’s and Ethereum’s networks has been central to its recent growth in daily volume.
As RLUSD continues to record higher daily volumes and expanded supply, the competitive market among stablecoins is changing. Regulatory improvements and greater clarity in digital asset oversight are contributing to institutional interest and adoption.
