Ripple's push to turn the $XRP Ledger into a home for tokenized real-world assets is gaining measurable traction. RWA holder numbers increased 25.16% during the past month, reflecting stronger activity across the network. At the same time, represented asset value on the ledger rose 2% to $4.06 billion, according to data from rwa(.)xyz.
The growth comes as the XRP Ledger positions itself as a serious competitor in the tokenized asset space. The XRP Ledger attracted $2.6 billion in new RWA inflows over the past six months, positioning it as the second-largest blockchain for recent tokenized asset growth, trailing only BNB Chain's $3 billion in inflows during the same period.Total RWA assets on the ledger have reached $4.38 billion, making it the sixth-largest blockchain by RWA value globally.
Ethereum, despite holding the largest total value of real-world assets, has seen slower recent inflows at $424 million, suggesting a shift in momentum towards newer or alternative networks.
Beyond the on-chain numbers, Ripple is actively investing in the infrastructure layer. On August 3, Ripple announced strategic investments in ZILO, which specialises in global transfer agency asset technology solutions for asset managers and wealth, and Licuido, a tokenization solution and trading platform for digital ownership and asset liquidity.The investments build on existing partnerships between the companies, bringing regulated transfer agency, issuance, and collateral mobility to Ripple's infrastructure on the XRP Ledger.
Ripple said its RLUSD stablecoin is intended to serve as the cash settlement leg for delivery-versus-payment transactions executed on the XRP Ledger.Licuido was already the tokenization infrastructure provider in the Aviva Investors USD Liquidity Fund deployment on XRPL, which went live on July 29, 2026, the first tokenized fund structure approved by the Central Bank of Ireland on a public blockchain.
Ripple disclosed no investment amounts, leaving financial terms and resulting ownership stakes unknown.
