Recent research highlights XRP Ledger as a key platform in the tokenization of real-world assets, which currently stands at just $26 billion.
Current State of Asset Tokenization
As of August 2025, only $26 billion in real-world assets (RWAs) have been tokenized across all blockchains. This reflects the early stage of adoption relative to the expected long-term growth of the sector.
Projections and Estimates from Global Institutions
According to estimates from the World Economic Forum, tokenization could eventually encompass up to $867 trillion in financial assets. This figure represents a significant share of global financial instruments, including equities, bonds, and commodities. Settlements and payments tied to these assets could amount to hundreds of trillions of dollars, much of which may shift onto blockchain platforms as adoption increases.
The Role of XRP Ledger in Tokenization
XRP Ledger is viewed as a 'prime platform for RWA tokenization.' Institutional-grade infrastructure available on XRPL, including automated market makers, decentralized identifiers, multi-purpose tokens, and native stablecoin support, provides a robust foundation for tokenizing global assets. Additionally, the Digital Assets Council of Financial Professionals has noted XRPL as one of the leading platforms capable of supporting large-scale tokenization.
Overall, the research presents XRP Ledger as a promising contender to capture a significant share of the tokenization market. While tokenization remains in its early phases, the scale of the projections from global institutions underscores the potential growth of this sector.
