Does XRPL adoption actually create XRP demand? The Q2 numbers have me worried. Long time holder here. I’ve been buying since 2022 and I’m still up. But the Blockworks State of XRP Q2 2026 report is bugging me and I want to hear from people who have thought about this. The ledger had a huge quarter. Stablecoin supply jumped 195%. RLUSD alone was up 257%. Tokenized real world assets rose 102% to $4.46 billion. The network ran 222 million transactions, its second highest ever. And XRP still closed the quarter down 20% at $1.04. Here is what bothers me. The ledger earned about $31,800 from payments and transfers in Q2 while roughly $9 billion of RLUSD moved across it. Only 40,600 XRP got burned all quarter, but around 600 million XRP came out of escrow in that same window. That is about 15,000 new coins for every 1 burned. On top of that, all ten of Ripple’s big institutional deals this year settled in RLUSD instead of XRP.
