Underneath the surface, however, the XRP Ledger is processing more transactions and attracting more institutional financial activity.<\/p>\n<p>XRP ended July at $1.06, down 42.7% from the end of 2025. Year-to-date, XRP is down 27.5% over the last eight months. Daily trading volume also fell 64% to $2.38 billion as the broader crypto market retreated from the ETF-driven optimism seen late last year. Yet XRPL\u2019s average daily transactions climbed 21% to 2.4 million during the January-to-July period, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TokenRelations\/status\/2094852350880141472?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Token Relation\u2019s H1 report<\/a> on Ripple and XRP.<\/p>\n<p>The contrast matters. XRP price weakness has not stopped Ripple and the wider ecosystem from building infrastructure aimed at stablecoins, payments and tokenized real-world assets, with the network\u2019s validator count rising from 119 to 141.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_844302\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-844302\" style=\"width:1170px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-844302\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Token Relations<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>RLUSD Is Rapidly Migrating to XRP Ledger<\/h2>\n<p>The biggest change came from Ripple\u2019s dollar-backed stablecoin. RLUSD\u2019s total market capitalization rose 23.4% to $1.58 billion by the end of July. More significantly, its distribution shifted decisively toward XRPL.<\/p>\n<p>About $907.2 million of <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/defi\/ripple-backs-rlusd-lending-push-on-xrp-ledger-with-clearpool-cicada\/\">RLUSD was issued on XRP Ledger<\/a> by July, equal to 58.9% of total supply. XRPL\u2019s share stood at just 18.4% at the start of the year. Meanwhile, RLUSD supply on Ethereum declined 39.4% to $632.2 million.<\/p>\n<p>That migration helped XRPL\u2019s overall stablecoin market reach a record $1.02 billion on July 13 before ending the month at $798.4 million, still up 173.9% from December. RLUSD also gained integrations with LMAX Group and Convera, alongside listings on Binance, OKX and major South Korean crypto exchanges.<\/p>\n<h2>Ripple Builds Institutional Rails Despite Crypto Slump<\/h2>\n<p>Ripple spent the downturn in the first half of 2026 expanding well beyond XRP trading.<\/p>\n<p>The company secured additional European regulatory approvals, opened a regional headquarters in Dubai, and pursued an Australian Financial Services license through its proposed acquisition of BC Payments Australia.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/featured\/ripple-prime-expands-into-equity-derivatives-with-delta-one-launch\/\">Ripple Prime added institutional access<\/a> to Hyperliquid, Coinbase Derivatives, and EDX Markets. It also secured a $200 million financing facility from Neuberger Specialty Finance to expand lending capacity.<\/p>\n<p>Tokenization has also become a larger focus. XRPL now supports hundreds of real-world asset tokens spanning U.S. Treasuries, corporate credit, private equity, and real estate, with Ondo and Guggenheim among the institutions represented in the ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>For XRP holders, the growth in the first half of 2026 looks to be translating into a recovery in XRP\u2019s price, with the token trading above $1.3, up about 32% from its mid-August low of $1.<\/p>\n<p>As the network underneath it becomes more deeply embedded in regulated payments, stablecoins, and institutional crypto infrastructure, the question for investors is whether that growth translates into sustained demand for XRP itself.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/market-updates\/xrp-price-slides-27-in-2026-as-xrpl-stablecoins-tokenization-surge\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Bitcoin News ) Key Takeaways From the start of the year, XRP fell 27% by Sept. 1, 2026, even as XRPL daily transactions rose 21% to 2.4 million.
