Ripple Treasury Shocks Market With 19M RLUSD Mint Amid Stablecoin Slowdown

Ripple just fired a warning shot across the bow of stagnant stablecoin markets—minting a fresh 19 million RLUSD while competitors retreat.

The move comes as trading volumes for dollar-pegged tokens hit their lowest levels since the 2023 banking crisis. Traders are rotating out of stablecoins amid regulatory uncertainty and—let''s be honest—because yield farming isn''t what it used to be.

Ripple''s aggressive minting suggests either brilliant market timing or reckless hubris. Their treasury now holds enough RLUSD to single-handedly prop up liquidity for mid-tier CEXs—if anyone still trusts centralized issuers after the last three stablecoin collapses.

One thing''s certain: while traditional finance plays musical chairs with interest rates, crypto''s favorite liquidity tool just got a controversial adrenaline shot.
