In a blog post, RippleX, the developer arm of Ripple Labs, has declared a “new era” for the XRP Ledger (XRPL), with plans to integrate hundreds of millions of dollars worth of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs). As reported by Bitcoinist in June, the initiative aims to establish the XRPL as a premier choice for tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs).

The integration of such assets on the XRP Ledger further enhances their inherent value by adding layers of transparency, security, and efficiency. Assets traditionally viewed as illiquid or bounded by geographic and regulatory constraints can achieve global exposure and improved liquidity through fractional ownership and blockchain’s borderless nature.
