New Era for XRPL: Ripple and Archax to Tokenize Millions in Real World Assets

• Ripple and Archax expanded their partnership to bring tokenized real-world assets.

• The XRP Ledger is a reliable and efficient platform, supporting over 5 million wallets and 120 validators.

Ripple and Archax have taken a significant step forward in their partnership by announcing an expanded collaboration aimed at bringing tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) to the XRP Ledger (XRPL). According to the announcement, this development is significant for both companies and is expected to transform the XRP Ledger community and allow the tokenization of financial assets, improve decentralized finance (DeFi) solutions, and provide access to a wider array of assets. 

The partnership between Ripple and Archax will provide numerous possibilities for developers and financial institutions in the XRPL ecosystem.

This partnership enables the tokenization of RWAs on the XRPL, enabling developers to design new financial solutions that were once difficult to execute. Tokenized assets, including stocks, bonds, and money market funds, can now be easily incorporated into dApps.

XRPL Demonstrates Robust Performance and Wide Adoption

Financial institutions stand to gain a lot from this partnership since the XRPL is a reliable, efficient, and integrated system for tokenizing and trading assets. Since its inception in 2012, the XRPL has facilitated over 2. 8 billion transactions, proving that it is capable of processing huge volumes of transactions efficiently and at low costs. Over the last decade, the XRPL has supported more than a thousand projects.

It serves over 5 million active wallets and works with over 120 validators in the network.

Furthermore, the ledger’s built-in decentralized exchange, compliance mechanisms, and tokenization capabilities are ideal for institutional-grade financial applications. 

The adoption of tokenized RWAs on the XRP Ledger is expected to bring a positive change to the DeFi space, especially for institutions.

This has opened up new possibilities for developers to create more DeFi solutions that can accommodate both retail and institutional investors. RWAs tokenized in this way give investors the benefits of RWAs and the advantages of blockchain technology, such as transparency, fractional ownership, and global accessibility. 

Future enhancements of the XRPL include Automated Market Maker (AMM), Decentralized Identifier (DID), Multi-Purpose Tokens (MPT), Lending Protocol, and Oracle, which will add more strengths to the platform. These enhancements will enable developers to create reliable DeFi applications, placing the XRPL at the forefront of the DeFi sector.

XRP Ledger Achieves Major Milestone with 90 Millionth Ledger

As our recent blog post outlined, the XRP Ledger (XRPL) hit a major milestone on August 12, processing its 90 millionth ledger as seen on XRPScan. This achievement showcases the engagement and coordination within the XRPL ecosystem. The network is still growing, and the next goal is to reach the 100 millionth ledger, which will be the next big step for this decentralized network.

The growth in XRPL adoption has continued, especially with SBI Holdings, a financial services giant in Tokyo, launching its NFT service, Myaku N! The project was implemented on the XRPL in early July. Ripple’s DeFi ecosystem encountered a challenge on August 1, as the total value locked (TVL) in XRPL DeFi applications plummeted from over $12 million on July 31 to slightly above $431,355 the next day.
