A 100-million-dollar increase brought the XRP Ledger's stablecoin reserves close to those hosted on the Avalanche network.

The value of stablecoins hosted on the XRP Ledger increased by approximately 8% in the week leading up to October 6, 2026, bringing the network's total to $1.31 billion after adding roughly $100 million in dollar-pegged assets, according to DefiLlama data.

The weekly growth moved the XRP Ledger to within $74 million of Avalanche, which held $1.39 billion in stablecoins in the 11th spot among blockchains. While stablecoin figures on Avalanche saw little change during the period, XRP traded at $1.51, down 0.6% for the week and roughly 49% over the past year.

The expansion on the XRP Ledger was driven primarily by Ripple's RLUSD, which represents roughly 93% of the network's stablecoin total at approximately $1.22 billion. Valtorum USD accounted for $73 million, while USDC represented around $5 million. In comparison, native token market capitalizations stood at approximately $95 billion for XRP and $5 billion for Avalanche's AVAX.

These two are not the same thing, and one does not produce the other. The left is how this single article reads, from its tone alone. The right is the site’s own call on the asset, from indicators and analysis. Press tone feeds no score and no signal: on the only corpus this site has measured, daily tone tracked the move that had already happened and showed no measurable link with what followed.
