The XRP Ledger (XRPL) is quietly becoming a major force in decentralized finance, thanks to a massive surge in real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. Over the last six months, tokenized assets on XRPL have grown by 2,260%, reflecting a clear shift in institutional and enterprise adoption of blockchain technology.
At the start of the year, the value of tokenized real-world assets on XRPL was under $5 million. Fast forward to today, and that figure has jumped to at least $118 million, according to a joint report by Tokens Relations and Ripple.
The ledger’s DeFi ecosystem is also expanding rapidly:
Stablecoins and decentralized exchanges (DEXs) are playing a big role in this growth, fueling higher transaction volumes and driving more users to the XRPL network.
Ripple’s efforts to build a global financial network are bearing fruit, especially in regions like the Middle East, Europe, and Asia.
Ripple recently received regulatory approval from Dubai’s DFSA, allowing it to offer crypto payments in the UAE. It has also teamed up with Zand Bank and Mamo Pay to improve cross-border payments. A notable real estate tokenization project with Ctrl Alt and the Dubai Land Department is also live on the XRP Ledger.
Ripple is collaborating with major financial institutions including DZ Bank, BBVA Switzerland, and DekaBank through Metaco, aiming to provide secure custody solutions and tokenization services for institutional clients.
In Singapore and South Korea, Ripple has partnered with Straits and BDACS to support crypto custody and build infrastructure for the digital asset ecosystem.
Ripple’s presence is growing in Latin America too. Mercado Bitcoin has already tokenized over $200 million in assets on XRPL, showing the real-world impact of blockchain innovation in the region.
A 2,260% surge in real-world asset tokenization and stablecoin use is fueling XRPL’s rapid DeFi growth.
XRPL’s DeFi ecosystem includes $93.21 million in stablecoins and increasing DEX volumes, driving more daily transactions.
Ripple is expanding in the UAE, Europe, Asia, and Latin America, securing partnerships for payments, custody, and tokenization.
