Ripple’s RLUSD Minting Halted – What’s Behind the Silence?

Crypto news site U.Today reports that Ripple has paused mints for its newly launched stablecoin, RLUSD, for the past week. Notably, no new coins were minted in this period. The last minting activity, a single batch of 38 million XRP created on April 25th, follows months of sporadic pauses and gradual increases to the circulating supply. Ripple’s recent decision to add RLUSD to its Ripple Payments network adds further significance to this trend, potentially signifying an expansion in utility beyond enterprise-focused applications.
