Ripple's own stablecoin hit a new all-time high. @Ripple's $RLUSD hit a new all-time high supply of $2.734B on November 11, 2026. The vast majority of the stablecoin is currently hosted on @Ethereum. That said, there is some $818.57M hosted on Ripple's own @XRP Ledger chain. Currently, however, there exists no clear mechanisms (outside of maybe XRPL fees) to turn the success of RLUSD into economic value for $XRP holders. Ripple Content:

Ripple Announces 'Big Plans' for XRP Ledger XRP Ledger (@XRP) $XRP is preparing for major performance improvements in 2027, Ripple engineering director Vijay Khanna (@vjkhannaripple) says. "We have big plans for performance improvements lined up for 2027," Khanna noted. The plans come amid criticism of the network's transaction speed. Ripple is also working to reduce the infrastructure demands placed on validators. The latest xrpld 3.3.0 release cut node RAM usage by 13% to 23%.
