On October 26, 
Ripple USD (RLUSD) emerged as the top gainer in terms of decentralized exchange (DEX) trading volume, with an increase of $199.4 million over a seven-day period. This surge was more than double the $97.6 million increase seen by USD Global (USDG) during the same period, according to data from Token Terminal.
The reported DEX asset trading volume refers to the total trade value involving the token, which means the increase signifies heightened trading activity rather than an influx of new capital. This distinction is crucial for understanding the nature of the volume surge.
The data is corroborated by multiple outlets, though they differ slightly in their emphasis. While Crypto Economy highlights the difference between trading volume and capital inflow, Blockonomi focuses on the broader market context without providing specific details on DEX volumes.
As of the latest data, RLUSD has a circulating supply of $2.52 billion, according to DeFiLlama, compared to USDG's $3.08 billion. The market cap of RLUSD is $2.53 billion, while USDG's market cap stands at $3.15 billion.
In the broader market context, the total crypto market cap is $2.75 trillion, with the overall market remaining relatively flat. 
Bitcoin experienced a 0.64% decrease in the last 24 hours, and the Fear & Greed Index is at 50, indicating a neutral market sentiment.
Since this brief published about 54 minutes ago, Global Dollar (USDG) has moved from ₹95.16$1.00 to ₹95.16$1.00 — +0.00%.
The chart plots USDG'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 Token Times's market data (daily resolution; intraday detail builds over the first day).

At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 USDG ≈ ₹105 (about $1.00), down 0.0% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 10.3% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
