Ripple unveils distributed funding model for XRP Ledger in 2026

Within the last 10 years, Ripple has invested billions of dollars to support the growth of the XRP Ledger and broader digital asset infrastructure. In a recent report, Ripple shared that since 2017, more than $550 million of that has been deployed directly into XRPL ecosystem initiatives, including non-equity grants, builder incentives, strategic partnerships and growth programs.

Since 2021, these efforts have included hackathons, builder bounties, XRPL Grants and the XRPL Accelerator, supporting nearly 200 projects worldwide across developer infrastructure, payments, DeFi, tokenization, AI, gaming, e-commerce, carbon markets and enterprise financial applications.

Based on past precedents, much of the XRP Ledger ecosystem funding has flowed through Ripple-supported initiatives such as XRPL Grants.

While those programs remain important, Ripple stated that 2026 will mark a shift toward a more distributed model, where independent organizations, regional hubs, venture partners and community-led initiatives play a larger role in supporting builders.
