Ripple's RLUSD Supply Approaches $2.5B as XRPL Stablecoins Jump 6%

Ripple's USD-backed stablecoin RLUSD is nearing 2.5 billion tokens in circulation, worth roughly $2.5 billion — up about $490 million since crossing the $2 billion mark in August. Meanwhile, stablecoins on the XRP Ledger rose roughly 6% in a week to about $1.19 billion, with RLUSD accounting for over 92% of that, or around $1.1 billion. Because RLUSD also issues on Ethereum and other networks, its total supply exceeds what's held on the XRPL. The token is issued by Standard Custody under New York regulation.

Ethena Brings USDe Basis Trade to Tokenized US Equities

Ethena is expanding its USDe reserve strategy by adding tokenized US equities and equity perpetuals to its basis trade, previously focused on crypto. It will use Binance bStocks as spot collateral and hedge with equity perpetuals to capture the spread between spot and futures markets. The framework has been approved by Ethena's risk committee. Binance equity perpetual open interest exceeds $2.9 billion, with equity basis trades averaging 3.56% annualized over the past six months. Ethena's founder calls it the most significant expansion of USDe's backing mechanism to date.

A Solana Oracle's Support Ends Today. Who's Still Using Its Prices?

Switchboard ended technical support on September 25, 2026, after announcing on September 19 that it would cease operations and deprecate all implementations, urging integrators to migrate to Pyth and RedStone. Jito's Tip Router docs still list Switchboard as a pricing source for vault weights, but they're about nine months out of date, while marginfi's September upgrade outlines nine new oracle options that don't rely on Switchboard. Documentation alone can't prove whether live markets still use the feed, and stale price sources could affect collateral checks, with no verified count of unmigrated feeds still in production.

Paxos Labs Launches PAXGy Token Backed by PAX Gold

Paxos Labs has introduced PAXGy, a token backed by PAX Gold (PAXG) that aims to generate yield for holders through gold leasing strategies. Users can deposit PAXG or swap stablecoins to receive PAXGy, with returns reflected in a rising PAXGy-to-PAXG exchange rate rather than an increasing token balance. Reserves are lent to institutional gold borrowers, and defaults or strategy losses could lower the exchange rate. PAXGy is now available through platforms including OKX Gold Earn and X Layer.

XRP Ledger Lending Proposal Gains Ground: Can XRP Break Above $1.60?

XRP briefly topped $1.65 on September 23 before falling back to around $1.51, with $1.60 now the first resistance to reclaim. The XRP Ledger's native lending proposal is still in validator voting: XLS-65 would create single-asset vaults, while XLS-66 would let loan brokers use vault funds for term credit. Both amendments need over 80% support from trusted validators for two straight weeks to activate, and no mainnet launch date has been set. The article also examines the $1.60 resistance and $1.40 support.

Hyperliquid Rolls Out Trailing Stops Across Perpetual Markets

Hyperliquid has introduced trailing stop orders on its perpetual futures markets, letting traders set a trigger price that automatically follows the favorable mark price. Long positions track the highest mark price after activation, while shorts track the lowest, and a market order fires once price retraces from that peak by a user-defined distance or percentage. Traders can set an activation price or start trailing immediately. The move expands Hyperliquid's existing conditional order toolkit amid steady growth in activity on its perpetuals platform.
