XRP and Stellar, both founded by Jed McCaleb, are competing to become the leading infrastructure for tokenized real-world assets, a market estimated at $114 trillion. XRP leads in cross-border payments with growing On-Demand Liquidity volume, regulatory clarity via the CLARITY Act, and $1.41 billion in spot ETF inflows. Stellar secured a major institutional win by partnering with the DTCC to tokenize US securities, though this rollout is expected in 2027.

Investors should watch which catalyst arrives first, with XRP favored for near-term gains and Stellar for long-term tokenization potential.
