Real-world asset holdings on the XRP Ledger have climbed to $4.06 billion, marking steady momentum for Ripple's long-running bet that the network could become a major hub for tokenized assets. The growth accelerated just as the company announced fresh infrastructure investments in firms like ZILO and Licuido, moves designed to strengthen the ledger's appeal to institutional players.
The numbers tell a straightforward story. Over the past month alone, represented asset value on XRPL jumped 2.18%. More tellingly, the count of RWA holders surged 25.16% to reach 199, suggesting growing participation beyond early adopters. The ledger now hosts 373 distinct tokenized real-world assets with a distributed value of $368.82 million.
Stablecoins Hold Ground, Transfers Slip
Stablecoins remain the heavyweight on the network, with market cap sitting at $901.4 million and roughly 60,240 holders. Yet not everything accelerated. RWA transfer volume cratered to $18.15 million over 30 days, while stablecoin transfers dipped 1.79% to $3.89 billion. The divergence between growing asset counts and shrinking volume hints at a market still finding its rhythm.
Ripple's tokenization strategy is outpacing traditional finance's appetite for spot XRP exchange-traded funds by a significant margin. Tokenized assets on XRPL expanded from about $73 million in January 2025 to roughly $900 million by year-end, then nearly quintupled to around $4.3 billion since. By contrast, spot XRP ETFs attracted roughly $1.5 billion in cumulative net inflows since launching last November, meaning the tokenized asset value is now nearly three times larger. This gap shows Ripple's pivot away from positioning XRPL as merely a payments rail and instead building it into institutional-grade infrastructure for asset tokenization.
