Tokenized RWAs on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) have surged by 2,260% from their value in January 2025. This could be attributed to Ripple’s growing ecosystem.
Tokenized RWAs Hit New Milestone On XRPL Ecosystem
The value of tokenised real-world assets (RWAs) on XRPL jumped from $5 million in January to over $118 million today, a 2,260% increase in just six months, according to a recent report by Token Relations and Ripple. More major institutions are becoming interested in tokenizing assets like U.S. Treasuries and real estate on the XRPL.
Beyond RWAs, the XRPL network is growing its decentralized finance (DeFi) offerings. The total value locked in DeFi has increased by 57%, reaching $86.66 million. The rise in the use of stablecoins and trading on decentralized exchanges (DEX) has led to an increase in daily transactions, which now average 1.77 million. XRPL offers very low median fees of around $0.000037, making it a great choice for frequent payments.
Notably, the XRPL stablecoin ecosystem has grown quickly this year with the introduction of new offerings. RLUSD now has a market capitalization of over $65 million, alongside Circle’s USDC. These changes show that XRPL is expanding beyond just payments to support tokenized financial assets and institutional DeFi.
XRPL has a strong network with over 900 nodes worldwide, more than 170 active validator nodes that help maintain consensus. Ripple manages only about 1% of these validators, yet the network stays decentralized and meets the high demands of enterprise transactions. It offers transaction fees under a cent and can handle more than 1,000 transactions every second.
Ripple’s Global Push Strengthens Institutional Adoption
Ripple is expanding quickly around the world, which helps more institutions adopt XRPL. In the UAE, getting a license from the DFSA allows access to a $400 billion trade market. Partnerships with Zand Bank and Mamo Pay make cross-border payments easier. In Dubai’s real estate market, Ripple is working with Ctrl Alt to tokenize property title deeds, as reported by CoinGape.
In Europe, partnerships with institutions such as DZ Bank, BBVA Switzerland, and DekaBank improve Ripple Custody services. Adding Societe Generale’s stablecoin also helps XRPL reach more users.
Additionally, Ripple’s collaborations with Straits in Singapore and BDACS in Korea show its goal of becoming the foundation of institutional digital asset infrastructure. The introduction of the BBRL stablecoin and Mercado Bitcoin’s $200 million tokenization plans in South America demonstrate how XRPL is propelling the adoption of tokenized assets throughout the region.
The XRP Ledger (XRPL) has processed over 3.3 billion transactions since it started. It has evolved into much more than just a payment system. With low fees, good scalability, and strong partnerships, it is becoming a popular choice for digital assets and decentralized finance.
