He said the XRP Ledger followed with a similar native asset model, while also supporting issued assets.<\/p>\n<p>That design allowed XRPL to handle assets beyond XRP itself. These can include stablecoins, tokenized funds, and other blockchain-based versions of real-world assets.<\/p>\n<p>Schwartz said enterprises are now using the XRP Ledger to provide tokenized real-world assets. He added that future products may include tokenized securities, money market funds, stocks, repos, and loans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEnterprises are using the XRP Ledger to provide tokenized real-world assets,\u201d Schwartz said in the short video format, according to the report.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>RLUSD Expansion Adds Fresh XRPL Context<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The comments came as Ripple\u2019s RLUSD stablecoin continued to expand across blockchain networks. Crypto.news <a href=\"https:\/\/crypto.news\/ripple-unlocks-rlusd-access-across-40-chains-via-wormhole-bridge\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" target=\"_blank\">reported<\/a> that RLUSD is now available across more than 40 chains through Wormhole\u2019s Native Token Transfers framework.<\/p>\n<p>The rollout includes Ethereum layer-2 networks such as Base, Optimism, Ink, and Unichain. It also includes the XRP Ledger EVM sidechain, giving developers access to RLUSD through Ethereum-compatible tools.<\/p>\n<p>This matters for XRPL because stablecoin liquidity is often needed for tokenized finance products. Payments, lending, asset trading, and on-chain settlement usually need a reliable dollar asset.<\/p>\n<p>Crypto.news also reported that RLUSD has grown to more than $1.7 billion in market capitalization since its late-2024 launch. That growth gives Ripple a larger stablecoin base as it pushes into institutional blockchain use.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>XRPL Data Shows Tokenization Growth<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Recent network data also shows rising XRPL activity. Crypto.news cited Messari data showing that XRP Ledger daily transactions rose 35.3% quarter-over-quarter in Q1 2026.<\/p>\n<p>The same report said XRPL\u2019s real-world asset market cap rose 124.1% during the quarter to $2.25 billion. RLUSD also reached $340.3 million on XRPL by quarter-end, making it the network\u2019s largest stablecoin.<\/p>\n<p>That data shows a split between XRP\u2019s price action and ledger activity. XRP fell during the quarter, but transactions, stablecoin use, and tokenized asset value moved higher.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tokenized Funds and Loans Become the Next Test<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Schwartz\u2019s comments point to a broader push into tokenized finance. The main question is whether enterprise use can lead to deeper retail access over time.<\/p>\n<p>Tokenized securities, repos, and loans would bring more traditional finance products onto XRPL. These markets are large, but they also need compliance, custody, liquidity, and trusted issuers.<\/p>\n<p>Crypto.news previously <a href=\"https:\/\/crypto.news\/jpmorgan-mastercard-and-ripple-test-tokenized-treasury-settlement-on-xrpl\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" target=\"_blank\">reported<\/a> that JPMorgan, Mastercard, Ripple, and Ondo tested a cross-border tokenized Treasury redemption using XRPL and banking rails.<\/p>\n<p>That pilot showed how XRPL can support asset movement while traditional banks handle cash settlement. For XRP, the next test is whether more of these pilots turn into live financial products with real user demand.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/crypto.news\/xrp-ledger-eyes-tokenized-finance-as-schwartz-maps-next-use-cases\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>David Schwartz, Ripple\u2019s CTO emeritus, says XRP Ledger utility is moving beyond its early role in payments as enterprises test wider blockchain-based finance.
