XRP Ledger: Leading the Way in Real-World Asset Tokenization

A recent research post highlights the potential of the XRP Ledger (XRPL) to dominate the tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs). According to SMQKE, as of August 2025, only $26 billion in RWAs have been tokenized across all blockchain networks. However, analysts predict this sector will experience explosive growth as global adoption surges. The World Economic Forum forecasts that this could reach a staggering $867 trillion in financial assets, encompassing equities, bonds, commodities, and other illiquid assets. This significant shift implies billions of dollars worth of financial transactions could move onto blockchain rails as adoption spreads.
