XRP Ledger Tokenized U.S. Treasuries Surge to $418M, Marking 8-Fold Growth in RWA Adoption

Gate News message, April 29 — The XRP Ledger (XRPL) has emerged as a major distribution layer for real-world assets, with tokenized U.S. Treasuries surging to over $418 million from approximately $50 million a year earlier, according to data from Evernorth. The eight-fold increase reflects growing institutional adoption of blockchain-based financial instruments.

Year-to-date transfer activity of tokenized Treasuries has reached $352.3 million, compared to $70.1 million during the same period last year—a nearly five-fold increase in just four months. This rise in both supply and transfer volume indicates that XRPL is functioning as an active distribution rail for RWAs, not merely a passive storage layer. Major participants driving the expansion include Justoken with approximately $1.8 billion in tokenized value, VERT Capital with $382.2 million in stablecoin-related issuance, and Ondo and Ctrl Alt, which recently launched a $280 million diamond tokenization project.

Tokenized Treasuries serve as foundational collateral for lending, liquidity pools, and stablecoin reserves, enhancing overall network utility. XRPL’s low fees and fast settlement times are attracting risk-averse institutional capital seeking yield-bearing on-chain assets, signaling a shift from payment-focused infrastructure to comprehensive financial market infrastructure.
