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.

Tokenization Drives XRPL Growth

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:

DeFi Total Value Locked (TVL): $92.57 million
30-Day Growth: Up from $55 million — a rise of approximately 68.3%
Stablecoin Market Cap: $93.21 million (↑23.18% this week)
DEX 24H Volume: $186,232
Average Daily Transactions: Over 1.77 million

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.

Middle East

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.

In Singapore and South Korea, Ripple has partnered with Straits and BDACS to support crypto custody and build infrastructure for the digital asset ecosystem.
