- Ripple Adds API-Based RLUSD Minting for Institutional Treasury Teams — this brief
Ripple launched Ripple Mint on July 23, giving institutions API and web-interface access to mint, redeem and manage RLUSD. Blockonomi reports that the product is intended for institutional treasury operations, extending the stablecoin’s management capabilities beyond routine transfers and holdings.
The launch followed changes in RLUSD’s reported market capitalization. Blockonomi said the figure increased from $1.54 billion to $1.64 billion around the release before settling near $1.59 billion. It also reported that RLUSD reached an all-time high above $1.8 billion on June 1. The outlet did not provide a broader measure of institutional adoption or identify participating treasury teams.
Live on-chain data from DeFiLlama shows RLUSD circulating supply at $2.7 billion, substantially above the historical market-cap figures cited around Ripple Mint’s launch. The current market-data snapshot also values RLUSD at $2.7 billion, with the token priced at $0.99998 and changing by 0.01% over both 24 hours and seven days.
The broader crypto market is comparatively subdued: total capitalization stands at $2.54 trillion, 
Bitcoin is down 0.06% over 24 hours, and the Fear & Greed index is at 32, indicating fear. RLUSD’s proximity to one dollar contrasts with that cautious backdrop. For institutional users, the relevant indicators to monitor are supply growth, usage of the new API and web tools, and whether the stablecoin remains close to its dollar peg as treasury adoption develops.
Since this brief published about 6 hours ago, Ripple USD (RLUSD) has moved from $1.00 to $1.00 — +0.00%.
The chart plots RLUSD's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from TLT's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 RLUSD ≈ ₦1,384.28 (about $1.00), down 0.0% over 24 hours. The naira itself trades about 2.6% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Nigerian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
