Ripple, J.P. Morgan, Mastercard, and Ondo Finance completed a pilot enabling near real-time cross-border settlement using tokenized U.S. Treasuries. The pilot combined blockchain asset transfers on the XRP Ledger, which processed transactions in under five seconds, with fiat settlement through traditional banking systems like Mastercard’s Multi-Token Network and J.P.

The XRP Ledger’s growing use in institutional tokenized assets highlights its expanding role in bridging blockchain and traditional finance.
