The XRP Ledger builder ecosystem is entering a new phase.

Learn what’s changing and how to get involved: https://t.co/4yhyfQ0xAg

Since 2017, more than $550M has been deployed into XRP Ledger ecosystem initiatives supporting projects worldwide. In 2026, the focus expands to a more distributed model with new pathways for founders to access funding, technical support, and venture networks.

This includes new programs, community-led funding mechanisms, expanded accelerator opportunities, regional ecosystem hubs, growing venture participation, and continued support from independent ecosystem organizations.

The EUR CoinVertible is now live on the XRP Ledger (XRPL)!

After @ethereum and @solana, this new deployment reinforces our commitment to delivering compliant crypto‑assets through a multi‑chain approach.

The aim?
✅Enhanced scalability and speed thanks to XRPL’s high‑performance infrastructure
✅Lower transaction costs
✅A secure and decentralized Layer‑1 architecture

A genuinely huge moment for XRPL as traditional finance moves onchain!

Aviva Investors, the global asset management business of leading UK insurer Aviva plc, has announced a partnership with @Ripple with the intention of tokenising traditional fund structures on the XRPL.

Great insights from our very own @ja_akinyele to push our thinking on XRP’s role in the ecosystem.

[J. Ayo Akinyele @ja_akinyele]

1/6 XRP has always been about moving value quickly and efficiently. Over the years, it has gone from powering payments to helping settle tokenized assets and enabling real-time liquidity across different markets.

[XRP Seoul 2026 🇰🇷 @XRPSEOUL]

XRP Seoul 2025 was truly unforgettable. 💫

3,000+ participants from 40+ countries came together with passion, energy, and community spirit to shape the future of XRP·XRPL Ecosystem. 🌍

This is just the beginning—thank you for being part of the journey with @xrplkorea

[Markus Infanger @markusinfanger]

Institutional markets are growing on-chain – very excited to see sgBENJI (@FTI_Global’s tokenized money market fund in Singapore) soon to be issued on the XRP Ledger, and available on the DBS Digital Exchange to trade for RLUSD.

As with all new technologies, real-world asset (RWA) tokenization won’t be delivered with a sudden leap from old to new. It will be an evolution.

We witnessed something similar when early financial markets made the move from paper to fully electronic systems. It didn’t happen overnight.

The evolution of tokenized assets is following a deliberate, incremental path. Legacy structures and legal frameworks remain important in helping institutions engage with the new technology.

For instance, Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) are providing familiar legal wrappers and operational models, helping institutions engage with blockchain at scale by holding assets like US Treasuries and real estate off-chain while issuing digital tokens on-chain.

But SPVs are not the destination. The true future lies in natively-issued on-chain assets. This transformation isn’t just a technical upgrade; it’s a complete redefinition of financial logic, where compliance is enforced by code and settlement is instant.

In a recent conversation with Leonard Schellberg at @beincrypto I discussed how @Ripple is unlocking the next phase of blockchain utility for institutions on the XRP Ledger (XRPL).

The XRPL is acting as a foundational layer for financial applications such as the tokenization of real-world assets.

Two recent Ripple partnerships highlight this:
Our work with Ctrl Alt and the Dubai Land Department (DLD) has seen the DLD issue title deeds directly on the XRP Ledger.
Guggenheim Treasury Services is issuing tokenized commercial paper on the XRPL in partnership with @Ripple and @zeconomy_x .

As these use cases are established on the XRPL, new features such as the recently launched EVM sidechain are further enabling programmable, compliant DeFi and paving the way for a multi-chain future.

And as the interaction between decentralized and regulated systems becomes the norm, the importance of public blockchains like the XRPL, which offer transparency, immutability, and security, is growing.

It was a really enjoyable discussion. You can read the full BeInCrypto article here: https://t.co/O6XA1dX9YB

[Ripple @Ripple]

In partnership with Ctrl Alt and the Dubai @Land_Department, Ripple Custody will deliver scalable and secure storage for the Dubai Land Department’s tokenized real estate title deeds, which have been issued on the XRP Ledger - enabling fractional ownership, transparency, and global access to Dubai’s real estate market.

Last month we hosted Apex 2025 in Singapore. The annual summit brought together the global XRPL community, including developers, innovators, businesses, and investors from across Asia and beyond for three days of powerful discussions and cutting-edge demos focused on blockchain and the XRP Ledger ecosystem.

The Ripple team did a fantastic job, delivering a forward-looking and energizing three-day event. There were many great sessions but one of my personal highlights was my keynote discussion with Sam Bizri from Zeconomy, which was hosted by Shaurya Malwa from CoinDesk.

In this session, we discussed how Zeconomy is bringing new institutional use cases onchain, including the first native digital commercial paper on XRPL in the form of Digital Commercial Paper (DCP) which is administered by Guggenheim Treasury Services, one of the largest independent commercial paper platform managers in the world. We also discussed broader tokenization use cases, compliance requirements and opportunities for developers to get involved.

There can be no doubt that the future of finance is being built around us right now.

A lot has already been said about @Robinhood’s announcement this week — and rightly so. The launch of tokenized equities in the EU by a company like Robinhood is a big deal.

Here’s what it means:

- EU customers will be able to access commission-free, 24/7 trading of tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs — including names like Nvidia, Apple, and Microsoft. And EU investors in the tokenized stock will have the same user experience as US investors buying the underlying stock.

- What’s more, tokens tied to private companies such as OpenAI and SpaceX will also be offered, unlocking private equity assets that have traditionally been out of reach for most investors.

But more than that, it signals some broader themes:

-Public blockchains are becoming the backbone of modern financial markets.

- Real-world adoption will happen in jurisdictions which set out clear regulation.

Public chains like #XRPL deliver what legacy systems and permissioned DLTs can't: real-time settlement, built-in compliance, operational efficiency, and access to 24/7 liquidity.

Europe is leading by example — showing what can be enabled when innovation is met with regulatory clarity.

The Robinhood announcement reinforces what I’ve believed for a while: tokenization isn’t the future — it’s happening now. Blockchain rails are going mainstream, and capital markets as we know them are transforming, fast.

Now’s the time for all of us to seize the opportunity represented by tokenized finance!

[Markus Infanger @markusinfanger]

I believe tokenization can be a turning point for financial institutions.

Real assets like bonds and private credit are moving onchain. This isn’t about speculation— it’s about leveraging public blockchain technology to enable faster settlement and broader market access.

The shift is already underway. Here’s my latest byline with @AmerBanker on what U.S. institutions need to know 👇

[American Banker @AmerBanker]

Blockchain-based tokenized financial products are rapidly advancing into asset classes like private credit and commercial real estate. American banks must lead, before global competitors set the terms, writes @MarkusInfanger, of @Ripple, in @AmerBanker @BankThink.https://t.co/1LWUjD0GOH

[RippleX @RippleXDev]

One chain. Global adoption.

Now live on the XRP Ledger:
🔗 $RLUSD — @Ripple
🇺🇸 $USDC — @Circle
🇸🇬 $XSGD — @StraitsX
🇪🇺 $EURØP — @Schuman_io
🇧🇷 $USDB — @BrazaBank

The XRPL is ready for the builders, institutions and users who demand fast and compliant stablecoins: https://t.co/FZxs2JGffn

Hope to see many from the #XRPCommunity in Singapore soon!

Can’t miss it!👇

By 2033, a $0.6T → $18.9T shift is coming as tokenization reshapes global finance.

Why?
🏛️ Regulation & institutional adoption
🏙️ Real-world assets like bonds & real estate
🔀 Faster, interoperable financial infrastructure

The institutions that act now will lead the next era of finance.
