With the recent rapid roll-up of the XRP Ledger, an emerging type of chain activity began to adjust the settlement. The data show that RLUSD use has increased significantly in transactions directed at AI agents, while the settlement share of original currency XRP has declined.

RLUD settlement doubled in seven days.

According to the XRPL AI Hub dashboard, the number of settlements completed by AI agents with Ripple USD (RLUSD) increased by 103 per cent to 135.99 within the last 7 days. During the same period, the number of transactions settled by XRP decreased by 6 per cent to 214.10.

XRP is still dominant in dollar terms. The value of the XRP is estimated at approximately US$ 300 for XRP and US$ 130 for RLUSD at the price of about US$ 1.41.

Price volatility pushes up automation costs

This group of changes appears after the XRP round has risen significantly. According to the report, the value of the XRP has been revalued by more than 40 per cent as it runs towards $1.50. For the AI scripts that require continuous start-up of transactions, an increase in the price of the bottom token directly raises the cost of running.

If the system needs to process high-frequency requests, currency price fluctuations affect established API, servers and implementation budgets. In such cases, the move to a stable currency in United States dollars is more conducive to expenditure control.

The total number of AI transactions continues to grow.

Although the absolute size of RLSD is still smaller than XRP, AI-related transactions have not slowed down. In the past seven days, the total number of transactions in this area has increased by 51 per cent to 378,720.

This means that the automated system does not reduce activity as a result of an increase in XRP, but rather spreads the risk of payment by increasing the proportion of stable currency use. It was also mentioned that the settlement curve of the past month remained largely linear until 19 August, and that the subsequent rate of increase was close to the XRP round.

On a scale, the ecological implications are still small, with a total of hundreds of dollars. However, in the automated payment scene of the chain, RLUSD is used as a buffer against volatility, showing that the real use of the stable currency in AI proxy settlements is increasing.
