The XRP Ledger's AI Hub recorded nearly 4.5 million AI-driven micro-payments as of September 8, but only 5,836 XRP tokens were actually settled, with most value transferred via Ripple's stablecoin RLUSD. This highlights a gap between transaction volume and XRP token demand, as the majority of payments use RLUSD for stability and XRP mainly covers transaction fees, which are burned rather than distributed. While the system proves scalable for automated payments, the low XRP settlement raises questions about the token's adoption and demand growth. The future depends on whether more merchants join and if settlements shift more towards XRP rather than stablecoins.
