Ripple's RLUSD hit $2.79 billion, its highest in a year, up $83 million in a day. USDT shrank $323 million
While bitcoin slid and the biggest stablecoin lost supply, Ripple's dollar token kept growing, CoinGecko data show. DefiLlama counts a much smaller total.
Key points
- Ripple USD (RLUSD) reached a market value of $2.785 billion at 6:57 a.m. ET on November 14, 2026, up $83.3 million or 3.1% in 24 hours, CoinGecko data show. It is the highest in CoinGecko's daily data for the past year, which starts near $1.09 billion.
- In the same 24 hours tether (USDT) shrank $323.1 million to $175.27 billion.
- DefiLlama counts only $1.628 billion of RLUSD, on Ethereum and the XRP Ledger, so the trackers disagree by more than $1.1 billion.
What moved
RLUSD is Ripple's dollar stablecoin. At 6:57 a.m. ET on November 14, 2026, CoinGecko put its market value at $2.785 billion, up $83.3 million (3.1%) in 24 hours, with the price at $1.00. For a dollar token, a higher market value means more tokens in circulation.
The rise continues a run. CoinGecko's daily readings show RLUSD at $2.581 billion on November 4, so it added about $204 million in 10 days, and at $1.600 billion on May 19. Its largest one-day drop in that period was $190.7 million on October 31.
The biggest stablecoin moved the other way. Tether's USDT shrank $323.1 million (0.18%) in the same 24 hours, to $175.27 billion. Bitcoin traded near $67,113, down 2.9%.

Two trackers, two totals
DefiLlama shows a much smaller supply: $1.628 billion, made up of $852.27 million on Ethereum and $776.1 million on the XRP Ledger. That is about $1.16 billion less than CoinGecko. Neither page explains the gap, so the exact size of RLUSD depends on which count you use. Both show the token at $1.
The direction of the move does not depend on the tracker. CoinGecko's figure is at its highest in a year of daily data, and RLUSD traded $316.6 million in 24 hours on CoinGecko, more than 11% of its market value.
LC Insight analysis
This section is our reading of the facts above, not a statement of fact.
- We think the contrast is the story: in a falling market, money left USDT while RLUSD kept adding supply.
- RLUSD is still small next to USDT, about 1.6% of its size on CoinGecko's numbers, so its growth does not offset Tether's outflow.
- The large gap between CoinGecko and DefiLlama is a reason to treat any single RLUSD supply figure with care until Ripple's own reports confirm it.
What's next
- Whether RLUSD holds above $2.7 billion on CoinGecko.
- Whether DefiLlama's count of $1.628 billion moves toward CoinGecko's.
- USDT's supply after a $323 million daily drop.
