According to a recent update, 185 Ripple USD (RLUSD) tokens <a href="https://x.com/RLUSD_TRACKER/status/1828938365720223917" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">have been burned</a> at the RLUSD Treasury.
The tokens were destroyed by sending them back to the issuer account. There are no tokens in circulation on the XRP Ledger or Ethereum as of now.
As&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/ripple-starts-testing-new-stablecoin" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">reported by U.Today</a>, Ripple started testing its stablecoin in private beta earlier this month.&nbsp;
The minting process began roughly a week ago with the aforementioned 185 tokens, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://xrpscan.com/tx/3600B860A2295FC61018F28FF41FEE70E35550489E0E1635B268CA37F3F28854" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">data</a> provided by XRP Scan.&nbsp;&nbsp;
For now, some of the company's enterprise partners are able to gain access to the new product. This, of course, means that RLUSD cannot be traded on exchanges.&nbsp;
Following the beta testing stage, the stablecoin will eventually become available to the general public.&nbsp;
The company is currently focused on ensuring a smooth general launch by eliminating possible issues.&nbsp;
Ripple's stablecoin was initially announced back in April to much fanfare.
Even though the stablecoin market is already crowded with such major players as Tether and Circle, Ripple appears to believe that there is much more room for growth since the market is expected to swell to a whopping $2.8 trillion by 2028.
Ripple executives have also dismissed some claims that the stablecoin is going to&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/JoelKatz/status/1783215084677779955" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">replace</a> XRP.&nbsp;
