Ripple Ends 'XRP Killer' Myth via Canton Network Support

Ripple Ends 'XRP Killer' Myth via Canton Network Support

Ripple has integrated support for the Canton Network into its Ripple Custody version 1.43 platform, enabling institutions to manage Canton Coin and CIP-56 tokens alongside existing assets. This strategic update allows banks and funds to custody assets within a private, secure environment, effectively addressing the industry-wide challenge of maintaining transaction confidentiality. By supporting Canton, Ripple positions itself as a versatile infrastructure provider rather than a competitor to the Digital Asset-developed network. This move clarifies the roles of major players in the RWA space, distinguishing between Canton's function as a private ledger for Wall Street and Ripple's role as a public liquidity bridge. The integration facilitates atomic delivery-versus-payment settlements for high-value transactions, such as those processed by Broadridge and the DTCC. This development dispels previous market narratives suggesting a direct rivalry between Ripple and Canton, favoring a collaborative division of labor instead. Ultimately, the update cements Ripple's relevance in a multichain institutional landscape by ensuring its custody solutions remain compatible with the private rails favored by major financial institutions.

Ripple President: RWA Tokenization on XRPL Could Reach US$30 Billion

Ripple President Monica Long projects that the value of real-world assets tokenized on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) will grow from approximately US$6 billion to US$30 billion in the coming phase. This growth is expected to be driven by increased institutional adoption as regulatory clarity encourages firms to transition from blockchain experimentation to full-scale infrastructure implementation. Key use cases identified for this expansion include 24-hour collateral mobility via tokenized money market funds, government bond-based repo transactions, and cross-border payments utilizing stablecoins. To facilitate this institutional shift, Ripple is enhancing XRPL with privacy controls, permissioned transaction capabilities, and simplified integration with decentralized exchanges. Furthermore, the company is developing infrastructure to support AI-driven transactions, projecting a tenfold increase in volume to 100 million transactions. Technical advancements such as Zero-Knowledge Proofs for confidential transfers are being implemented to address traditional finance requirements for transaction privacy. These strategic developments underscore Ripple's ambition to position XRPL as a primary network for institutional-grade financial services and broader blockchain utility.

XRP Seoul Event : XRPL Eyes $30B in Tokenized Real-World Assets

At the recent XRP Seoul event, Ripple President Monica Long outlined a strategic vision to scale the XRP Ledger (XRPL) as a primary hub for institutional on-chain financial infrastructure. The company is actively targeting an ambitious expansion of tokenized real-world assets on the network, aiming to grow the total value from $6 billion to $30 billion. This growth strategy focuses on integrating tokenized money market funds, treasury-backed repos, and stablecoin payment solutions to enhance 24/7 collateral mobility. To support this institutional shift, Ripple is introducing permissioned privacy features alongside new lending and yield applications powered by XRP and the upcoming RLUSD stablecoin. Furthermore, the ecosystem is preparing for a significant surge in AI agent-driven transactions, with projections rising from 10 million to 100 million. These developments underscore Ripple's commitment to positioning XRPL as a robust platform for high-volume, regulated financial activities. By bridging traditional finance with blockchain efficiency, Ripple aims to capture a larger share of the global institutional asset tokenization market.
