Uit een blockchain-onderzoek dat op 19 oktober werd gepubliceerd, bleek dat een groep van 110 wallets 99.6% van alle geregistreerde RLUSD-betalingstransacties op de XRP Ledger genereerde gedurende een periode van 30 dagen.
Bitquery attributed approximately 7.79 million of 7.82 million payments between 19 September and 18 October to repeated, tiny transfers directed to three collector wallets. The finding concerns transaction counts, rather than the proportion of RLUSD value transferred. Bitquery's
Key Takeaways
- Bitquery identified a cluster of 110 wallets sending repeated small payments.
- The cluster dominated transaction counts during the measured period.
- Millions of transfers carried only a small combined value.
- Shared funding and recipients supported the clustering analysis.
- The study does not identify who operated the wallets.
Millions of Payments, Limited Value
Think Bitquery’s investigation, the payments to the three collectors carried approximately 7,722 RLUSD in total. Individual transfers averaged roughly one-tenth of a cent.
The researchers grouped the wallets through shared recipients and funding patterns. This is an analytical inference from blockchain records, rather than confirmation from an identified operator. Bitquery's
The contrast illustrates how a network can register millions of transactions without those transactions representing substantial spending.
For readers learning Hoe werken stablecoins?, a recorded payment means tokens moved between accounts. It does not automatically establish that a customer purchased something or settled an invoice.
Why Payment Counts Need Context
Transaction counts measure frequency. Transfer value measures the amount moved. Neither, by itself, reveals the commercial purpose behind the activity.
One automated system can generate thousands of transfers. Conversely, a business might settle a large supplier invoice through a single transaction. Comparing the two solely by payment count would give a misleading picture of their economic significance.
Wallet counts require similar care. One person can control several addresses, while a custodian can hold assets for many customers through a shared address.
Om de acceptatie van betaalmethoden te beoordelen, zijn daarom verschillende maatregelen nodig: transactiegrootte, herhaalde activiteit, verschillende tegenpartijen en bewijs van daadwerkelijk gebruik.
What the Study Does Not Establish
Bitquery said the cluster received funding from Binance-labelled addresses, but that does not establish that Binance operated it. The researchers also cautioned against inferring motives from the timing of changes in activity.
The investigation concerns RLUSD payments on the XRP Ledger during a defined period. It does not measure all RLUSD activity across every supported network. Bitquery's
These limitations leave an important distinction between observing activity and explaining who caused it or why.
What Matters for Payment Adoption
For businesses, stronger evidence comes from whether customers and suppliers use a payment method reliably and find it useful.

Conclusie
The RLUSD study demonstrates why transaction totals need careful interpretation. Assessing stablecoin adoption requires looking beyond the number of recorded payments to their value, purpose and concentration among participants.
