As of late March 2026, Ripple&#8217;s dollar-pegged stablecoin had 1.41 billion 
tokens in circulation, backed by roughly $1.57 billion in reserves — a surplus 
that points to a stablecoin holding more cash than it owes. Related Reading: 
Bitcoin ETFs Pull In $56B As CEO Pitches Crypto Over Gold Deloitte Steps In To 
Verify The Numbers The bigger validation came weeks earlier. On February 27, 
Deloitte — one of the world&#8217;s largest accounting firms — confirmed that RLUSD 
held $1.568 billion in reserves against 1.49 billion tokens. The Big 4 firm 
also checked an earlier snapshot from February 19, when the supply stood at 
1.54 billion tokens, backed by $1.60 billion in reserves. Both figures showed 
the same pattern: more money in reserve than tokens outstanding. The 
attestation was not a full audit. It was a point-in-time check confirming that 
reported figures matched reserve assets on those two specific dates. Still, 
having Deloitte sign off carries weight, especially for a stablecoin still 
building its track record. What The Regulators Require RLUSD operates under a 
license from the New York State Department of Financial Services, which sets 
strict rules on how reserve assets can be held. Issuers must keep funds in 
segregated accounts and limit their holdings to low-risk instruments. Eligible 
options include short-term US Treasuries, overnight reverse repurchase 
agreements, insured bank deposits, and approved money-market funds. According 
to Deloitte&#8217;s report, RLUSD&#8217;s reserve structure meets all of those 
requirements. The NYDFS framework is considered one of the tougher regulatory 
regimes for stablecoins in the US. Passing that standard — and having it 
verified by an outside firm — gives institutional users a clearer picture of 
what backs the tokens they hold. Ripple Follows A Trend Already In Motion 
Ripple is not alone in going this route. Earlier this year, Tether selected 
KPMG to examine the reserves behind USDT, its own dollar-pegged token, as part 
of a push into the US market. Data shows that stablecoin issuers across the 
board are moving toward third-party verification, driven partly by growing 
regulatory pressure and in part by competition for trust among large financial 
institutions. Related Reading: Bitcoin Mining Nationalized? US Senators Float 
Bold New Reserve-Backed Bill RLUSD remains far smaller than USDT or USDC by 
market size. But consistent reserve surpluses and a clean regulatory record 
are exactly the kind of credentials that tend to attract banks and payment 
firms looking for a stablecoin they can rely on. The numbers check out — now 
Ripple needs the market to take notice. Featured image from Meta, chart from
