The post Ripple Increases RLUSD Liquidity With Latest $20 Million Mint appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Ripple has increased the number of its dollar-pegged stablecoin RLUSD tokens in circulation by 20 million, as reported by Ripple Stablecoin Tracker, a move that slightly strengthens on-chain liquidity as competition in the regulated stablecoin market gets more intense. According to the Etherscan, 20,000,000 RLUSD were minted at the RLUSD Treasury and transferred via a confirmed Ethereum transaction on Feb. 19, 2026. The transfer was made by a wallet labeled “Ripple: Deployer” and was finalized in seconds.  Ripple Exec Reports Breakthrough in DC Crypto Meeting Crypto Market Review: XRP Faces 85% Volume Reset, Shiba inu (SHIB) Bull Run Chances Are Slim, Analyzing Dogecoin’s Possibility to Return to $0.10 How latest $20 million mint impacts RLUSD’s market position After the release, RLUSD’s supply is 1.53 billion tokens, putting it in the middle of the pack for dollar stablecoins in terms of market capitalization, according to CoinMarketCap.
