AI Agents on XRP Ledger Favor Ripple USD Over XRP, BlackRock Sees Machine-Native Economy

  • —AI agents on XRP Ledger use Ripple USD for round-the-clock settlements instead of XRP
  • —XRP transaction volumes stagnated over the past week
  • —BlackRock: stablecoin market tops $300 billion, annual volume at $11.6 trillion
  • —Armstrong: number of transacting AI agents will grow exponentially
Why it matters: AI agents' demand for predictable stablecoins could shift liquidity within the XRP Ledger toward RLUSD at the expense of XRP.
