This total supply of the stablecoin so far seems to satisfy its users’ needs since Ripple Labs has not performed any RLUSD-related activity since May 14. On that day, Ripple Treasury burned almost 4,000,000 stablecoins. As for the last time Ripple minted any new RLUSD, it happened on April 25, when 38,000,000 RLUSD were issued and 15,000,000 RLUSD were burned by the same entity.
