The UK government has published a landmark strategy to scale tokenized wholesale financial markets, and Ripple is publicly backing it.The blockchain payments company posted its support for HM Treasury’s Wholesale Digital Markets taskforce on X, pointing to the report authored by Wholesale Digital Markets Champion Christopher Woolard CBE and delivered to the Chancellor in July 2026.Ripple called tokenized instruments “cheaper, better and faster than their legacy equivalents” and stated that “onchain funds, bonds and repo aren’t experiments.” The post positions Ripple as an active participant in what the UK government describes as a <a href="https://timestabloid.com/top-investor-says-this-news-is-huge-for-xrp-and-future-of-global-finance/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">structural shift in global finance</a>.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">Onchain funds, bonds and repo aren't experiments. They're already happening, delivering onchain financial instruments that are cheaper, better and faster than their legacy equivalents.The UK has the capital markets depth and regulatory credibility to be a global leader in… <a href="https://t.co/ELEP4x9UGL" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">pic.twitter.com/ELEP4x9UGL</a>— Ripple (@Ripple) <a href="https://x.com/Ripple/status/2076582147696001265?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">July 13, 2026</a></blockquote><h2 id="strong-the-numbers-behind-the-strategy-strong">The Numbers Behind the Strategy</h2>The report sets a clear economic target. Tokenization could deliver up to £33 billion in annual economic output and £14 billion in annual tax revenue for the UK by 2035. Those figures come from analysis by Barclays and PwC.The global market context supports the ambition. <a href="https://timestabloid.com/rwa-tokenization-canary-capital-ceo-drops-xrp-bombshell/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Tokenized real-world assets</a> currently represent just 0.01% of investable assets, valued at $30 billion globally. That figure grew 300% in 2025 alone. Projections from Boston Consulting Group place the market at $88 trillion by 2035, equivalent to around 16% of global investable assets.<h2 id="strong-where-xrp-and-ripple-fit-in-strong">Where XRP and Ripple Fit In</h2>Ripple’s presence on the UK taskforce is significant. The Digital Markets Champion Industry Taskforce includes Ripple among its members, alongside firms including BlackRock, J.P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Barclays, HSBC and Standard Chartered. The taskforce will drive delivery of the strategy over the next 12 months.Ripple’s regulatory footprint is expanding across jurisdictions. The company recently <a href="https://timestabloid.com/big-win-for-xrp-as-ripple-confirms-full-mica-compliance/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">secured its MiCA license in the EU</a>, and its participation in the UK taskforce places it at the center of two of the world’s most consequential regulatory environments for digital assets simultaneously.<h2 id="strong-building-the-infrastructure-for-tokenized-markets-strong">Building the Infrastructure for Tokenized Markets</h2>The report identifies repo transactions as the priority use case for end-to-end blockchain delivery. An Orchestration Group will coordinate an ecosystem-wide, cross-border repo trial targeting a live test by spring 2027. Payment rails are central to that work.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">We are on X, follow us to connect with us :- <a href="https://x.com/TimesTabloid1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@TimesTabloid1</a>— TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) <a href="https://x.com/TimesTabloid1/status/1934162718258499855?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">June 15, 2025</a></blockquote>Ripple’s existing infrastructure, including <a href="https://timestabloid.com/ripples-evernorth-states-how-rlusd-powered-2-5-billion-milestone-for-xrp/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">its blockchain and stablecoin capabilities</a>, positions it directly in that conversation. The UK has confirmed that firms in the Digital Securities Sandbox can apply to use specific stablecoins as settlement assets.<h2 id="strong-a-race-with-global-stakes-strong">A Race With Global Stakes</h2>The report warns that without a clear national roadmap, standards and infrastructure risk developing offshore, eroding the UK’s position as a global financial centre. Ripple acknowledged the UK’s standing, stating it has “the capital markets depth and regulatory credibility to be a global leader in tokenized wholesale markets.”The taskforce will finalise its Action Groups in September 2026. Meaningful progress is expected by year-end.Disclaimer: This content is meant to inform and should not be considered financial advice.
