XRP crypto news: RLUSD hits $2.49B supply while XRP falls 17% YTD — the decoupling signal every holder needs to understand. Plus: $75.6M in spot ETF inflows, the CLARITY Act cloture failure, and two ledger upgrades hanging by a thread.

Ripple's stablecoin just crossed two point four nine billion dollars in circulating supply, and that's either the best news in the XRP ecosystem right now, or a quiet warning sign. Probably both.
The mechanism behind this matters. RLUSD is being used for institutional payment flows and corporate treasury activity.
Against that backdrop, the ETF data offers a cleaner signal. U.S. spot XRP ETFs pulled seventy-five point six million dollars over four days, September twenty-two through twenty-five.
On the regulatory side, the CLARITY Act cloture vote failed forty-nine to fifty on September fifteenth. Senator Thom Tillis preserved a procedural path for another attempt, but there's no floor action scheduled as of today.
The real test over the next two weeks is whether ETF inflows sustain enough buying pressure to absorb overhead selling, whether Batch V1.1 activates cleanly on October ninth, and whether RLUSD supply growth starts pulling XRP into institutional flows rather than routing around it. If RLUSD adoption expands without driving XRP demand, that decoupling is the structural story of this cycle.
