Following a recent announcement for <a href="https://u.today/xrp-ledger-ships-major-software-update-details" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">XRP Ledger</a>, an important warning has been sent to the XRP community.
RippleX has announced that OpenEden, a tokenization platform, will introduce tokenized U.S. Treasury bills (T-bills), a short-term government debt obligation backed by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, to the XRP Ledger (XRPL) and its users for the first time.
Ripple highlights this latest milestone in a recent <a href="https://ripple.com/ripple-press/openeden-introduces-tokenized-us-treasury-bills-onto-the-xrp-ledger/?utm_campaign=&amp;utm_medium=organic_social&amp;utm_source=twitter" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">press release</a>. Tokenizing T-bills on XRPL demonstrates how institutional access to decentralized finance (DeFi) is being driven by the tokenization of traditional real-world assets. OpenEden's TBILL tokens are backed by short-dated U.S. T-bills and reverse repurchase agreements with U.S. Treasury collateral.
Ripple will also invest $10 million in OpenEden’s TBILL tokens. This is a portion of a larger fund that Ripple will devote to tokenized T-bills issued by OpenEden and other issuers.
