ClawBank Routes 7,630 Trades in a Day as XRP Ledger AI Payments Jump 77%

Autonomous AI agents on the XRP Ledger routed 77% more native-token payments over the past 24 hours, while transaction volume on Ripple’s dollar-pegged stablecoin RLUSD fell 32% in the same window, according to on-chain data cited by Coinotag. The divergence points to bots shifting operational settlement away from RLUSD and toward XRP itself, a rotation concentrated almost entirely in a single protocol.

One protocol, one day, 90% of its lifetime volume

ClawBank, a protocol connected to 67 services, processed 7,630 transactions in a single day, per the on-chain figures reported by Coinotag. That single session represents roughly 90% of the protocol’s entire prior history, which totaled just 8,469 transactions before the spike.

The bulk of that flow was routed through the x402 payment standard, which lets agents automatically choose between XRP and RLUSD when purchasing data or renting compute. During periods of network congestion, the software defaulted to XRP over the stablecoin rail, favoring its low, fixed fees and faster finality, the data shows.

The activity underscores a broader threshold: the XRP Ledger’s autonomous AI economy has now surpassed one million transactions in aggregate, according to on-chain metrics. Settled volume within that economy is currently led by the DePIN network Heurist Mesh, with flow concentrated among a small number of dominant participants.

ETF flows move the opposite direction

Regulated products told a different story. Spot XRP ETFs recorded a net outflow of $7.29 million, the largest single-day redemption since March 2026, according to fund flow data. The entire withdrawal came from one vehicle, the Bitwise XRP ETF, which absorbed 100% of the redemption.

The outflow ended a comparatively calm stretch: the products had logged a $6.55 million inflow on July 2 followed by flat sessions on July 6 and 7. Despite the redemption, cumulative net inflows into the Bitwise XRP ETF still stand at $494 million, meaning the fund has given back only a small fraction of the capital it has attracted since launch.

Across all approved US spot XRP funds, cumulative net inflows remain near $1.40 billion. For context, the recent $7.29 million pullback is dwarfed by the $93 million single-session outflow the segment suffered during the January 29 capitulation day, suggesting the structural inflow base has not been meaningfully dented.

Price stuck near $1 as sellers defend the top

XRP itself remains pinned near the psychologically significant $1 level after a failed push toward $1.18 was rejected as sellers reasserted control. The token continues to trade well below its all-time high, with several sessions of drift producing no meaningful bounce.

Traders are now watching $1 as the critical support that must hold to avoid deeper losses in the prevailing bear market. One tentatively constructive signal: declining volume on the way down, which can indicate seller exhaustion. The daily RSI is printing higher lows, a bullish divergence that price action has not yet confirmed. According to Coinotag’s own scoring engine, the $1.07 support level currently carries the strongest reading on its scale, at 79 out of 100, with open interest at $638 million and a long/short ratio of 3.34.
