Ripple stablecoin chief sees $13 trillion corporate treasury opportunity for RLUSD
WHAT HAPPENED
Ripple SVP of Stablecoins Jack McDonald told CoinDesk that roughly 1,200 Ripple Treasury customers process about $13 trillion of transactions annually, including cross-border and intercompany flows. He said Ripple wants to bring more of that activity onto RLUSD rails. CoinDesk reports RLUSD circulation at $2.4 billion, up more than 50% in one month, and daily activity at roughly $750 million last month, more than triple the level at the start of 2026. Ripple is also seeking approval for a MiCA-compliant dual-issuance structure in Europe.

## Source summary
Ripple SVP of Stablecoins Jack McDonald told CoinDesk that roughly 1,200 Ripple Treasury customers process about $13 trillion of transactions annually, including cross-border and intercompany flows. He said Ripple wants to bring more of that activity onto RLUSD rails. CoinDesk reports RLUSD circulation at $2.4 billion, up more than 50% in one month, and daily activity at roughly $750 million last month, more than triple the level at the start of 2026. Ripple is also seeking approval for a MiCA-compliant dual-issuance structure in Europe.
## Why it matters
The interview links RLUSD to real corporate-treasury and cross-border payment flows rather than only crypto trading, and it supplies measurable usage indicators. The $13 trillion figure is the annual transaction flow handled by Ripple Treasury customers, not RLUSD volume, revenue or a captured market. The $2.4 billion circulation and $750 million daily-activity figures come from CoinDesk's report and cited data, while the European structure remains subject to approval. No conversion rate, customer adoption, corridor breakdown, fee, settlement-time improvement or independently audited operating outcome is disclosed.
