RLUSD on-chain throughput soars to $6.3 billion per month, is a stablecoin settlement network taking shape?
February 14 News, RLUSD has been continuously expanding since its launch in December 2024. After early support from multiple platforms, its market capitalization quickly surpassed $1 billion. By 2026, key changes occurred in its liquidity structure, with a global distribution network and zero-fee incentives driving increased trading volume, while custodial deposits contributed to a simultaneous rise in reserves and trading activity. With the withdrawal function and XRPL deposit channel opening on February 12, the on-chain migration of RLUSD has significantly accelerated, and its cross-border payment and multi-network circulation capabilities are gradually taking shape.
As of mid-February 2026, RLUSD's circulating supply has increased to approximately $1.52 billion. During this period, the supply was expanded through three issuance events, and some tokens were burned on the Ethereum network to curb excess supply, with the collateralization rate remaining above 103%. On-chain distribution has also become clearer: approximately 77% to 79% of the balance is held on Ethereum, mainly for liquidity and collateral purposes; XRPL holds about 22% to 23%, focusing more on fast settlement and payment routing.

BIP-360 Sparks Quantum Hot Topic: Can Bitcoin Upgrades Ease Selling Pressure and Restore Confidence?
February 14 News, the Bitcoin community has recently engaged in intense discussions about post-quantum security upgrades. With the exposure of the BIP-360 proposal, core developers plan to implement a soft fork to introduce stronger resistance to quantum attacks for Taproot-based addresses. This proposal is seen as an important step for Bitcoin to address future quantum computing threats and has become a focal point of current market attention.
The core goal of BIP-360 is to reduce the risk of exposing public keys in Pay-to-Taproot (P2TR) addresses during transactions. The scheme will remove the "key-to-spend" path and introduce a Pay-to-Merkle-Root (P2MR) structure, enabling verification without exposing the public key. Since Taproot was widely adopted after its launch in 2021, related risks were initially overlooked but are now recognized as potential systemic vulnerabilities.
