Key Takeaways:
The XRP Ledger pulled in $1.7 billion in real-world asset capital over 60 days, outpacing every major blockchain including Ethereum.
The XRP Ledger recorded $1.7 billion in real-world asset inflows during the 60 days through June 22, surpassing Ethereum, Solana, Polygon and Arbitrum in capital attracted, on-chain data show.
"The scale and velocity of RWA onboarding on XRPL has exceeded internal projections," David Schwartz, chief technology officer at Ripple, said. "Institutions are choosing this network for its low transaction costs and settlement finality."
The $1.7 billion figure represents cumulative net inflows into tokenized real-world assets — including Treasuries, credit and commodities — across protocols built on the XRP Ledger. During the same period, Ethereum saw net RWA outflows of roughly $420 million, while Solana, Polygon and Arbitrum each recorded inflows below $300 million, according to data from RWA.xyz. XRP traded at $1.14 as of 10:00 UTC on June 22, down 0.34% over 24 hours, with a market capitalization of $70.97 billion.
The capital rotation challenges Ethereum's dominance in the RWA tokenization narrative, a market that analysts at Bernstein project could reach $5 trillion in assets by 2030. If the XRP Ledger sustains this pace, it could capture a meaningful share of institutional tokenization flows that have historically concentrated on Ethereum and its layer-2 networks.
RWA Inflows Reshape the Tokenization Landscape
The divergence in capital flows marks a structural shift in where institutions choose to tokenize real-world assets. Ethereum has long been the default platform for RWA projects, hosting marquee initiatives from BlackRock's BUIDL fund and Franklin Templeton's BENJI token. But high gas fees during network congestion and competition from faster, cheaper alternatives have opened the door for challenger chains.
XRP Ledger's appeal stems from its native decentralized exchange, low transaction fees — typically fractions of a cent — and settlement times under five seconds. Ripple's push to integrate RLUSD, its dollar-pegged stablecoin, into Mastercard's settlement infrastructure and African payment corridors through Flutterwave has further strengthened the ecosystem's institutional credentials, according to company announcements.
Supply Squeeze Adds to Bullish Pressure
Separate on-chain data reinforces the bullish case for XRP. Tokens held on centralized exchanges have fallen to approximately 1.6 billion, the lowest level in seven years and roughly half the supply that sat on exchanges in October 2025, CryptoQuant data show. Reduced exchange supply typically amplifies price moves when buying pressure emerges.
Investment products tied to XRP attracted $10.66 million in net inflows during the week ended June 18, pushing cumulative inflows toward $1.45 billion, according to SoSoValue. The CLARITY Act, legislation aimed at establishing clearer regulatory definitions for digital commodities, has advanced through committee and awaits Senate floor consideration.
XRP's price has traded within a $1.10 to $1.30 corridor throughout June, with support at $1.10 holding after a brief dip to $1.12 on June 22. Analyst EGRAG CRYPTO described the two-month price formation as a "battlefield" on X, with long-term targets ranging from $9.50 to $17.23.
