According to the X account that tracks the supply of newly minted RLUSD, Ripple has recently created another 25 million coins, readying the protocol for additional liquidity.

RLUSD was one of the most highly anticipated developments in the Ripple ecosystem. Its designed to be a regulated stablecoin, and its floating supply is currently available on both Ethereum and the companys own blockchain, the XRP Ledger (XRPL). At the time of this writing, around $125 million worth of RLUSD circulates on Ethereum and about $44 million on XRPL.

While the numbers might appear odd, they do make sense from a business perspective. DeFi on XRPL is yet to take off, while Ethereum remains the most liquid network for decentralized applications, regardless of the recent slumps in the price of its native cryptocurrency.

But will the newly minted $25 million RLUSD affect XRPs price? After all, they account for around 15% of the entire supply of the stablecoin. Well, they havent so far. XRP is trading at around $2.32 at the time of this writing, increasing by about 1.6% in the past 24 hours.

Source: CoinGecko This uptick, though, is likely attributable to the general market increase at the same time, and its not isolated to XRP this can be seen in the charts for all coins.

That said, a continuous acceptance of Ripples stablecoin is definitely a potential catalyst for future growth in XRPs price. After all, it could generate more revenue for the company.

With a circulating supply of only about $170 million, RLUSD is nowhere near the likes of USDT or USDC, but this could also be seen as a potential growth trajectory.
