The XRP Ledger (XRPL) has become the top blockchain for real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, attracting $1.9 billion in net inflows over the past 90 days, ahead of Ethereum's $1.6 billion and other major networks. This growth highlights increasing institutional confidence in XRPL due to its fast transactions, low fees, scalability, and reliability. The rise in tokenized finance, including government treasuries and commodities, is driving demand for blockchain platforms like XRPL that offer transparency and efficiency. Additionally, XRPL's stablecoin supply surged by 22% in one week, signaling deeper liquidity and market participation, positioning XRPL as a key hub for tokenized finance's future expansion.
