- RLUSD Supply Rises as USDT and USDC Contract — this brief
Bitcoin.com reports that Ripple-issued RLUSD expanded by approximately $972 million over 90 days, taking its circulating supply beyond $2.5 billion. The outlet describes it as the largest supply increase among major dollar-backed stablecoins during that period, while USDT and 
USDC both contracted.
The publication’s headline further identifies USDT’s decline as $5 billion over the reported 90-day window. No corresponding contraction figure was provided for USDC, so the size of that reduction cannot be quantified from the supplied coverage.
DeFiLlama’s live data confirms that RLUSD’s circulating supply currently stands at $2.58 billion. The same aggregator reports $178.09 billion circulating for USDT and $70.79 billion for USDC, consistent with RLUSD remaining far smaller while recording the fastest reported growth among the major tokens covered.
All three stablecoins remain close to their dollar pegs: RLUSD is priced at $1, USDT at $0.99902 and USDC at $0.999523. Over 24 hours, their respective moves were +0.01%, +0.04% and +0.03%; over seven days, RLUSD was down 0.02%, while USDT and USDC were each up 0.02%.
The broader crypto market capitalization is $2.69 trillion and the market is broadly higher, with Bitcoin up 1.85% over 24 hours. The Fear & Greed index stands at 34, indicating a “Fear” reading despite the positive market move; what to watch next is whether RLUSD’s supply expansion continues as USDT and USDC supply trends develop.
Since this brief published about 3 hours ago, Tether (USDT) has moved from ₹94.74$0.999 to ₹94.74$0.999 — +0.00%.
The chart plots USDT'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). 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 USDT ≈ ₹105.91 (about $0.999), up 0.0% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 11.8% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
