After the successful launch of the dollar-pegged RLUSD stablecoin at the start of December, Ripple has been regularly minting millions or at least hundreds of thousands of RLUSD pretty regularly.

This week, however, on-chain data trackers have not registered any significant minting activity of Ripple Treasury — the entity in charge of creating new RLUSD coins under Ripple.

Meanwhile, traders have been actively using the 50 million RLUSD that are circulating in the market now — the trading volume is 35.66% up over the past 24 hours, according to data shared by CoinMarketCap. The stablecoin currently holds the 552 spot in terms of market capitalization size.

Ripple mints hardly any RLUSD this week

Data published by the Ripple Stablecoin Tracker account on the X social media platform shows that the last time a large amount of RLUSD was minted took place Feb. 10, and those were chunks of 625,000 and 425,000 RLUSD, which totals 1,050,000 RLUSD.

Before that was a two-day break, when 7,100,000 and 2,000,000 RLUSD were created on Feb. 8.

As of today, Feb. 15, XRPscan shows that the blockchain address called “RLUSD (Issuer)” has been minting just small amounts of RLUSD containing several thousand coins maximum.

So far, according to CoinMarketCap, there are 53.1 million RLUSD in circulation at the moment. It is likely that Ripple so far considers the already issued amount of stablecoins sufficient for now and will generate more RLUSD depending on the future market demand.
