XRP Ledger posted the second-largest 30-day increase in tokenized real-world assets (RWA), adding 34.6% to reach $157.4 million, data from rwa.xyz shows.
Only Aptos outpaced that monthly growth, expanding nearly 57% to $539.3 million, while Ethereum maintained the lead by total value at $7.55 billion, with a 2.4% gain.
Notably, the XRP Ledger is the 10th-largest blockchain by total tokenized RWA value, but it displays the third-smallest number of projects, with six initiatives.
However, this number is set to rise following a recent partnership between Ripple and Brazilian crypto platform Mercado Bitcoin, which aims to tokenize $200 million using the XRP Ledger.
Aptos and XRP Ledger headed the leaderboard by percentage growth. Algorand advanced 21.8% to reach $294.7 million, and Solana added 18.5% to hit $415.0 million.
Stellar was the only top-ten network to shrink, slipping 5.7% to $467.7 million. Ethereum and ZKsync Era, which account for more than three-quarters of the tracked value, recorded low single-digit moves. XRP Ledger’s share of the indexed market now stands at 1.2%.
Inside XRP Ledger’s tokenization stack
US Treasury debt comprises the largest slice of tokenized value on XRP Ledger at $90.1 million, or roughly 57% of the network’s RWA base. Public equity receipts follow at $55.4 million, with non-US sovereign debt and real-estate tokens contributing $11.9 million and $2.9 million, respectively.
Archax anchors the ledger’s protocol table with $112.1 million across three instruments, equal to 55.6% of on-chain value, while Ondo holds $30.1 million.
Furthermore, token volumes on XRP Ledger are set to widen. The Brazilian exchange Mercado Bitcoin announced on July 4 that it plans to tokenize more than $200 million in permissioned fixed-income and equity-income products on the blockchain.
According to Ripple, the effort ranks among the most extensive Latin American tokenization campaigns. It builds on Mercado Bitcoin’s record of issuing more than R$1 billion ($182 million) in on-chain private credit assets with zero defaults.
The exchange will utilize XRP Ledger’s native settlement layer to distribute the instruments across South America and Europe.
Ripple noted that Mercado Bitcoin already uses Ripple Payments for cross-border treasury transfers between Brazil and Portugal and listed the RLUSD stablecoin on its venue earlier this year.
If completed in full, the new issuance would more than double the ledger’s current RWA capitalization and move the network higher in RWA.xyz’s rankings.
