XRP Ledger adds $2.6B as RWA inflows rank second

The XRP Ledger (XRPL) experienced a significant surge in real-world asset (RWA) adoption, adding approximately $2.6 billion in value over the past six months. This growth ranks the network second in net RWA inflows, trailing only BNB Chain and surpassing other major smart-contract platforms like Solana and Ethereum. As of July 26, the total RWA value on XRPL reached $4.38 billion, with the vast majority categorized as represented assets rather than distributed onchain assets. A primary driver of this growth is Justoken’s JMWH product, which represents contracted energy output and accounts for over half of the ledger's total RWA value. While represented assets dominate the volume, the network is also expanding its distributed asset segment through partnerships with issuers like Ondo Finance and Société Générale-FORGE. The integration of compliance tools, permissioned trading, and cross-border settlement pilots highlights the network's shift toward institutional utility. This trend underscores the increasing use of public blockchains as record-keeping layers for traditional energy contracts and financial instruments, even when onchain trading activity remains low.
