<p class="is-style-lead">The XRP Ledger added about $2.6 billion in tokenized real-world asset value during the past six months, excluding stablecoins, according to data from RWA.xyz.&nbsp;</p><div id="cn-block-summary-block_c139a32325946ac2a805514397af389b" class="cn-block-summary"><div class="cn-block-summary__nav tabs"><span class="tabs__item is-selected">Summary</span></div><div class="cn-block-summary__content"><ul class="wp-block-list"><li>XRP Ledger added $2.6 billion in RWA value, ranking second among blockchains over six months.</li><li>JMWH alone represents $2.23 billion, making tokenized energy XRPL’s largest real-world asset category by value.</li><li>Most XRPL RWA value is represented, while distributed assets total only about $323 million currently.</li></ul></div></div><p>That placed XRPL second among tracked blockchain networks for net RWA inflows during the period. BNB Chain ranked first with about $3 billion, while Stellar followed XRPL with roughly $2.1 billion.</p><p>The increase lifted XRPL’s combined distributed and represented RWA value to about $4.38 billion on July 26. The <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">RWA.xyz</a> dashboard listed $323.21 million in distributed assets and $4.06 billion in represented assets. The network also held $995.12 million in stablecoins, taking its broader total above $5.37 billion when those tokens are included.</p><h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="strong-xrp-ledger-moves-higher-in-rwa-rankings-strong"><strong>XRP Ledger moves higher in RWA rankings</strong></h2><p>The six-month figures placed XRPL ahead of several larger smart-contract networks for new tokenized asset value. Solana added about $1.6 billion, while Avalanche attracted roughly $972 million. Ethereum remained the largest home for distributed tokenized assets, but its net addition during the measured period was lower at about $424 million.</p><p>The latest rise continues a trend visible earlier in 2026.<a href="https://crypto.news/xrp-ledger-bnb-chain-tokenized-rwa-rankings/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"></a>XRPL moved into sixth place in the <a href="https://crypto.news/xrp-ledger-bnb-chain-tokenized-rwa-rankings/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">tokenized RWA</a> rankings in February after adding $354 million in one month. A crypto.news <a href="https://crypto.news/xrpl-is-quietly-building-institutional-defi/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">report</a> in July found that tokenized assets on the ledger had passed $3 billion as developers added compliance tools, permissioned trading and proposed lending features.</p><h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="strong-tokenized-energy-drives-most-of-xrpl-s-total-strong"><strong>Tokenized energy drives most of XRPL’s total</strong></h2><p>Justoken’s JMWH product accounts for the largest share of XRPL’s RWA value. <a href="https://app.rwa.xyz/assets/JMWH" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">RWA.xyz valued the represented commodity asset</a> at $2.229 billion on July 26. Each JMWH token represents one megawatt-hour of contracted energy output. The issuer mints tokens against energy agreements and burns them after the electricity is delivered and consumed.</p><p>The asset also shows why represented value and active onchain liquidity are not the same measure. RWA.xyz recorded only 19 JMWH holders, one active address over 30 days, no monthly transfers and no monthly transfer volume. The token therefore works mainly as a blockchain record for energy contracts rather than a widely traded asset. JMWH alone accounts for about 51% of XRPL’s total RWA value.</p><p><a href="https://www.justoken.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Justoken</a> said it had tokenized more than $2.84 billion in total value across its products. In March, the company announced an energy tokenization project with Argentina-based power producer YPF Luz using the XRP Ledger. The wider product links blockchain records with contracts for electricity generation and consumption.</p><h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="strong-distributed-assets-and-stablecoins-expand-strong"><strong>Distributed assets and stablecoins expand</strong></h2><p>XRPL’s distributed asset segment remains much smaller than its represented segment, but several financial products now operate on the network. RWA.xyz listed about $323 million in distributed assets. Ondo Finance, Braza Crypto, OpenEden Digital, Société Générale-FORGE and other issuers contribute to this category through tokenized Treasuries, credit products and regulated digital money.</p><p>Ripple’s RLUSD remains the largest stablecoin platform on XRPL. RWA.xyz showed about $894.7 million in RLUSD on the network, while all XRPL stablecoins totalled about $995.12 million. Braza Crypto ranked behind RLUSD with products worth about $83.4 million. Stablecoin transfer volume reached $4 billion over 30 days.</p><p>A May pilot also tested how tokenized funds can connect XRPL with bank payment rails. <a href="https://crypto.news/jpmorgan-mastercard-and-ripple-test-tokenized-treasury-settlement-on-xrpl/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">As crypto.news reported</a>, Ripple redeemed part of its holdings in Ondo Finance’s OUSG Treasury product on XRPL. Mastercard sent settlement instructions to Kinexys by J.P. Morgan, which moved U.S. dollars to Ripple’s Singapore bank account.</p><p>Ondo said the asset leg settled in under five seconds. Ondo Finance President Ian De Bode called it the “first time tokenized U.S. Treasuries have settled across borders and banks in near real time.” The transaction combined a public blockchain asset transfer with traditional bank settlement.</p><h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="strong-rwa-growth-does-not-equal-direct-xrp-demand-strong"><strong>RWA growth does not equal direct XRP demand</strong></h2><p>RWA growth measures asset value recorded or issued on the ledger. It does not show how much XRP investors purchased or how often they used the native token. Most institutional products can use XRPL for issuance and settlement while paying only small network fees in XRP. Stablecoins such as RLUSD can also handle the cash side of transactions without using XRP as a bridge asset.</p><p>The asset mix also matters when comparing networks. Represented assets refer to offchain holdings or contracts recorded on a blockchain, while distributed assets are issued and held more directly onchain. XRPL’s represented value accounts for more than 92% of its non-stablecoin RWA total. JMWH alone drives more than half of that figure.</p><p>Even so, XRPL has added more issuers and asset types during 2026. Its RWA count reached 373, while the number of tracked holders rose 14.29% over 30 days to 176. The ledger’s stablecoin holders reached about 60,080. These figures show a broader tokenization base, although ownership remains concentrated in several products.</p><p>Ripple and XRPL developers are also building infrastructure for regulated markets. Crypto.news reported that permissioned domains, credentials and a permissioned exchange layer now support identity-based access rules on the public ledger. Proposed lending standards could add fixed-term credit products if validators approve them. The next stage will depend on whether issuers turn the growing asset base into regular transfers, trading and settlement activity.</p><p>Read more: <a href="https://crypto.news/bitcoin-policy-group-joins-u-s-state-department-freedom-tech-push/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> Bitcoin policy group joins U.S. State Department freedom tech push </a></p>
