Ripple’s stablecoin RLUSD has reached a new market capitalization high, with growth exceeding 86% since the beginning of the year. According to current data, the circulating supply of RLUSD has risen to approximately $2.49 billion. The stablecoin’s market capitalization was around $1.33 billion at the beginning of 2026. Thus, RLUSD has recorded growth of over 86% since the start of the year.

The market capitalization gap between RLUSD and PYUSD, issued by PayPal, is also rapidly closing. PYUSD currently has a market capitalization of approximately $2.73 billion, reducing the difference between RLUSD and PYUSD to around $248 million.

Data from the past week has revealed differing trends between the two stablecoins. While the supply of RLUSD increased by approximately $112 million, the supply of PYUSD decreased by approximately $61 million. PYUSD started 2026 with a supply of approximately $3.531 billion and peaked at $4.214 billion on March 5th. The stablecoin’s supply has declined by approximately 35 percent since that peak.

In terms of RLUSD distribution across networks, both XRP Ledger and Ethereum saw growth. Between September 21-28, the RLUSD supply on XRP Ledger increased from $1.036 billion to $1.099 billion, an increase of approximately $63 million. Similarly, the RLUSD supply on Ethereum rose from $1.343 billion to $1.39 billion during the same period, an increase of approximately $49 million.

Currently, approximately 44% of the total RLUSD supply is held on the XRP Ledger, while 56% is held on Ethereum.

While the total size of the global stablecoin market is approximately $306 billion, RLUSD’s market share remains relatively low. However, Ripple has recently accelerated its efforts to increase the use of RLUSD, particularly on the XRP Ledger.

Updated to market close Firmus, backed by Nvidia, cancels $5 billion IPO plan; tech stocks see their biggest weekly gain in a week; Benchmark index posts gains for the second consecutive week Jasmeen Ara Islam Shaikh, Reuters, October 9 – Australian stocks rose on Friday as bargain hunters bought shares after a recent benchmark pullback; at the same time, Firmus’s decision to shelve its $5 billion IPO plan triggered an inflow of funds into local software stocks. The benchmark S&P/ASX 200 .AXJO rose 0.6% on Friday to close at 8,716.6 points after two consecutive days of declines. For the week, the index rose 0.4%, posting gains for a second straight week. Globally, comments from US President Trump that the US would pause strikes against Iran ahead of the November midterm elections provided a slight lift to market sentiment. Domestically in Australia, markets are closely watching September quarter inflation data to be released later this month, as well as awaiting the Reserve Bank of Australia’s last two policy meetings of the year in November and December. On the day, tech stocks .AXIJ jumped as much as 3.1% after data center operator Firmus, backed by Nvidia NVDA.O, called off its IPO due to lukewarm market response. Maas Group MGH.AX, a 3.2% shareholder in Firmus, resumed trading after a morning halt and saw its shares plunge as much as 10.7%. David Tuckwell, Chief Investment Officer at ETF Shares, said Firmus’s withdrawal was positive for local tech stocks as it kept fund managers’ money in existing listed shares and avoided forced rebalancing for index funds. He added that after extended selling, valuations in the sector were oversold and now operating on their own momentum. However, weak demand for Firmus indicated that investors preferred enterprises with solid performance, rather than shunning tech stocks entirely. WiseTech Global WTC.AX, Xero XRO.AX, and Life360 360.AX rose 4.2%, 3.5%, and 4.1% respectively. As gold prices edged up, gold miners .AXGD gained 1.9%, the sector's biggest gain in more than two weeks. GOL/ Weighed down by softer iron ore and copper prices, the overall mining index dipped 0.2%. IRONORE/ MET/L Financial stocks .AXFJ rebounded 0.5% after declines over the previous two sessions. Energy stocks .AXEJ edged higher by 0.2%, marking four straight gains despite weaker early oil prices. O/R Across the Tasman Sea, New Zealand’s S&P/NZX 50 index .NZ50 closed up 0.4% at 13,749.35 points.
