The minting resumed after a week’s break, while the last time before today RLUSD were created was on Sept. 6. On that day, 85 stablecoins were minted, and almost all of them were burned immediately after the emission. All these emissions and burns were part of stablecoin testing by Ripple.

According to the tracker, the Treasury began issuing RLUSD at the end of August. RLUSD has a U.S. dollar peg and is fully backed with dollar deposits, as well as short-term U.S. treasuries and other liquid assets.

A third-party company will be hired to audit Ripple’s reserves, and the blockchain juggernaut will publish monthly attestations.
