In a recent update shared by Ripple stablecoin tracker X account, 25,000,000 RLUSD were burned at the RLUSD Treasury. The transaction details supplied revealed an Ethereum transaction hash supplied by Ethereum, indicating the burn was performed on the Ethereum blockchain.
The recent burn follows a mint of 6,060,694 RLUSD on Ethereum blockchain, with the blockchain seeing a string of minting and burning events, especially in the last 24 hours.
Within the last 24 hours, Ripple stablecoin tracker reported three other separate burn transactions: two were on the Ethereum blockchain, while the third was on the XRP Ledger.

A fourth transaction reported in recent hours brings this total to 51 million RLUSD burned all within the last 24 hours.
Meanwhile, the burn activity did not happen separately, as it was accompanied by mint events, with more RLUSD entering circulation.
In the last 24 hours, 29,000,000 RLUSD and 14,990,000 RLUSD were minted at the RLUSD Treasury, adding to the Ethereum supply.
