Ripple and Archax have decided to enhance their current partnership, aiming to bring a substantial amount of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) to the XRP Ledger (XRPL) by the upcoming year. The collaboration, initially established in 2022, has now been extended to focus on tokenizing assets worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
The announcement of this partnership expansion was made at the 2024 XRP Ledger Apex conference, where Ripple’s CEO Brad Garlinghouse and CTO David Schwartz were present. This move solidifies XRPL’s position as a leading network for RWA tokenization.
Archax, known for its partnerships with major financial institutions, is set to utilize the XRPL to tokenize assets for these institutions. The UK-regulated firm, in collaboration with Ripple, is committed to promoting RWA tokenization and enhancing the efficiency and transparency of financial transactions.
Garlinghouse expressed his excitement for the growing trend of financial institutions turning to L1 blockchains like XRPL for tokenizing RWAs. He foresees a significant increase in this practice in the future. Graham Rodford, CEO of Archax, shared this enthusiasm, emphasizing the benefits of RWA tokenization in terms of operational efficiency and market access.
With XRPL’s capabilities in tokenization, a native DEX, and compliance features, it is well-equipped to cater to institutional-grade financial needs. The partnership between Ripple, Archax, and other entities is expected to drive the adoption of crypto in real-world use cases.
RippleX has also partnered with Zoniqx to enable multi-asset tokenization on the XRPL. Schwartz projected that the XRPL will become the leading platform for tokenization within the next one and a half years. The community’s response to these developments has been positive, with many enthusiasts eagerly anticipating the growth of the XRPL ecosystem.
