RLUSD market cap rises to $2.491 billion, up more than 86% from the start of 2026

Ripple’s stablecoin RLUSD has reached a new supply high, lifting its market capitalization to about $2.491 billion, according to BlockBeats. That marks growth of more than 86% from roughly $1.336 billion at the start of 2026. The token is now about $248 million behind PayPal USD (PYUSD), which stands near $2.739 billion. Recent weekly flows show the gap narrowing. RLUSD supply increased by about $112 million over the past week, while PYUSD fell by roughly $61 million over the same period. PYUSD started the year at around $3.531 billion, climbed to a peak of $4.214 billion on March 5, and has since dropped about 35% from that high. By issuance network, RLUSD on the XRP Ledger grew from $1.036 billion to $1.099 billion between Sept. 21 and Sept. 28, while Ethereum-based RLUSD rose from $1.343 billion to $1.392 billion. XRP Ledger now accounts for about 44% of RLUSD supply, with Ethereum making up about 56%. Even so, RLUSD remains a small part of the global stablecoin market, which is currently valued at about $306 billion.

Crypto influencer video revives claim that Ripple is targeting a $155 trillion cross-border payments market

Techub News, citing CoinGape, reported that a video posted by crypto influencer @strivex_ has resurfaced and is circulating again.

According to the report, the narrative did not originate with the latest video. It was first pushed by @BANXRPLNEWS and has been repeatedly circulated since at least June 2026. The report presents the figures and price scenario as part of the claim being shared online, rather than as independently verified outcomes. No additional evidence or new data was included in the brief.

Ripple CLO says CLARITY Act outcome would not change XRP regulatory clarity

Ripple Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty said XRP already has the kind of regulatory clarity that much of the crypto industry is still seeking, regardless of whether the U.S. Congress passes the CLARITY Act. His comments frame XRP as standing on firmer regulatory ground than many other digital assets. Alderoty said that certainty comes from two separate tracks. The first is the outcome of Ripple’s litigation with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. The second is guidance jointly issued by the SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, or CFTC, which he said confirmed XRP’s status. The remarks were carried by Techub News, citing CoinPedia. No additional details on the legislation or timing were provided in the source brief.

Bitget hacker moves about $83 million in stolen XRP as Ripple cannot freeze the funds

The hacker tied to Bitget’s roughly $387.5 million breach has moved about $83 million in stolen XRP out of three holding wallets, while around $75 million remains across the five original accounts, according to CoinDesk’s review of XRP Ledger activity. The case has drawn attention to a core limitation of the network: while issuers can freeze tokens they create on the XRP Ledger, that control does not apply to XRP itself. As a result, Ripple cannot stop transfers from wallets controlled by the attacker. CoinDesk reported that nearly 103 million XRP was taken from Bitget on Thursday and split among five wallets. By 12:41 UTC on Saturday, two wallets that had each held 20 million XRP were nearly empty, and a third had fallen to about 5.8 million XRP. Transfer activity picked up overnight, with balances in the original five wallets dropping from about 70 million XRP at 04:32 UTC Saturday to 49 million roughly eight hours later. Bitget said its protection fund will cover the losses and that customer balances remain unaffected. The exchange plans to resume withdrawals in stages, starting with bitcoin on Sept. 28, ether on Sept. 29, USDT on Sept. 30 and other tokens on Oct. 2. Circle and Tether have also frozen about $320,000 in related stablecoins.

Analyst says XRP could reach $2.30 if it clears the $1.42 resistance level

Crypto analyst Steph Is Crypto said in a recent video that XRP is testing a key resistance area and could climb to $2.30 if that level breaks. In his view, $1.42 is the resistance traders are watching right now, while $1.37 is the support that needs to hold. He based the call on several factors, including regulatory developments, exchange supply data, and Google search activity tied to XRP. The analyst noted that XRP search interest has formed a higher low for the first time in 90 days, which he said may point to a shift in retail sentiment from bearish to bullish. He also highlighted Binance’s current XRP balance of 2.62 billion tokens, the highest in 69 days. On regulation, he pointed to Senator Elizabeth Warren’s strong opposition to the CLARITY Act and a response from former Ripple CTO David Schwartz to Senator Josh Hawley’s opposing vote. According to the analyst, regulatory uncertainty is likely to keep shaping XRP price expectations until the bill is passed.
