Large XRP holders accumulated more than 380 million tokens over the previous week, with the buying clustering around the psychologically important $1 area, while Ripple minted 10 million RLUSD on the XRP Ledger on Aug. 10. Santiment data shared by Ali Martinez and the onchain mint were separate developments, and the blockchain record does not show that the new RLUSD immediately entered circulation, flowed into XRP, or represented fresh market buying. XRP traded near $1.03 on Monday without a decisive breakout, while an RSI near 50 suggested more neutral momentum than in some overbought altcoins. RLUSD market capitalization was about $1.53 billion, below the $1.7 billion level Ripple cited in June, and references to Aviva Investors tokenizing a fund point to broader institutional interest in blockchain-based tokenization rather than a direct XRP-specific catalyst.
