Original Link: https://cryptonews.net/news/altcoins/32313539/ Five million Ripple USD stablecoin (RLUSD) on the XRP Ledger has been burned at the RLUSD treasury in recent hours, following a major listing announcement on a leading crypto exchange that has sparked attention in the market.

Exchange Listing and Trading Pairs

Expanding Partnerships and Adoption

2026 Outlook: Stablecoins as Growth Engine

Ripple President Monica Long predicts that the shift in crypto market will play out across four key areas: stablecoins, on-chain assets, crypto custody and automation through AI.

Long highlighted these themes as major turning points that might drive institutional adoption in 2026. She predicts that by 2027, financial institutions will tap into the power of regulated stablecoins for 24/7 collateral mobility in capital markets. While retail use cases for stablecoins exist, the real growth engine is B2B.

Within the next five years, stablecoins will become fully integrated into global payment systems. Long also predicts the convergence of blockchain and AI, saying that stablecoins and smart contracts will enable treasuries to manage liquidity and execute margin calls, all in real-time without manual intervention.
