XRP demand is showing signs of weakening, with significant outflows from US spot ETFs and a decline in futures open interest. XRPL activity also shows reduced user participation, though institutional adoption of the ledger for tokenized assets is growing, potentially reviving demand for XRP.
Stablecoin supply on the XRP Ledger has surged to nearly $890 million, a 20.56% increase in 30 days, outpacing the global market. Ripple's RLUSD dominates this growth, while Valtorum's USDV is emerging as a significant second issuer.
Ripple proposes a lending upgrade (XLS-65/XLS-66) for the XRP Ledger to attract institutional credit, allowing borrowing against on-chain assets without the blockchain making credit decisions. This aims to expand XRPL's role beyond payments into broader institutional finance.
Ripple announced that developers can now test the proposed XRP Ledger Lending Protocol. If approved by network validators, this dual upgrade (XLS-65 and XLS-66) will enable on-chain borrowing and lending of digital assets and tokenized real-world assets, providing native credit infrastructure for financial firms.
The XRP Ledger (XRPL) attracted $1.9 billion in tokenized real-world asset capital over three months, surpassing Ethereum and Solana. While Ethereum still leads in total tokenized asset value, XRPL shows aggressive new capital inflow, driven by institutional commitments.
Stablecoin liquidity on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) has nearly doubled in a month, approaching $1 billion, largely due to Ripple's RLUSD. This surge supports Ripple's strategy to position XRPL as a payment rail for AI agents, enabling automated, fast, and rule-enforced transactions, a market projected to reach $183 billion by 2033.
Bitso is expanding its partnership with Ripple by bringing its MXNB stablecoin to the XRP Ledger. It will be used with Ripple's RLUSD for enterprise cross-border settlements between the US and Mexico, aiming to reduce costs and improve efficiency in remittances.
Ripple a dévoilé un kit pour développeurs permettant de créer des agents IA autonomes sur le XRP Ledger. Ces agents pourront gérer des paiements, des abonnements et du trading sans intervention humaine, s'inscrivant dans la tendance croissante de l'IA dans la finance.
XRP Ledger added 4,300 new wallets in 24 hours, the fourth-largest growth spike of 2026. Despite positive network activity and ETF inflows, XRP price faces resistance at $1.40-$1.55, suggesting a prolonged consolidation.
The XRP Ledger (XRPL) faces a surge in fraud attempts, including fake airdrops and impersonation scams, as it attracts more institutional activity and higher transaction volumes, with warnings issued by David Schwartz and the XRP Ledger Foundation.
Ondo Finance said Ripple has redeemed OUSG on XRP Ledger and received a USD payout in Singapore through Mastercard and Kinexys by J.P. Morgan. The May 6 pilot tested whether a tokenized fund redemption on a public blockchain could trigger a bank-account payout across borders and banks, using a transaction path that Ondo said operated […] The post JPMorgan, Mastercard and Ripple complete cross-border XRP tokenized Treasury settlement appeared first on CryptoSlate.
The cross-border tokenized US Treasury transaction using blockchain and banking rails builds on an earlier pilot in which the same fund moved between a public and permissioned blockchain.
Major financial institutions use XRP Ledger to demonstrate blockchain's ability to settle tokenized Treasuries across borders in seconds.
XRPL holds $3.6 billion in real-world assets (excluding stablecoins), with $2.6 billion in represented assets and $1 billion in distributed. The JMWH energy token accounts for $1.76 billion—roughly half the total RWA value and 70% of the represented segment. Issued by Justoken in partnership with Argentine energy producer YPF Luz, JMWH represents one megawatt-hour of energy per token. The represented asset model uses blockchain as record-keeping infrastructure rather than for peer-to-peer transfer, aligning with XRPL's native compliance controls. While the Enertoken proof-of-concept suggests potential to push RWA value toward $4.5-5.5 billion, single-issuer concentration risk and competition from open distribution models present significant challenges.

Ripple announced a multi-stage plan to prepare the XRP Ledger for post-quantum cryptography with a 2028 target for full readiness, responding to Google Quantum AI research showing roughly 500,000 physical qubits may be enough to attack ECDLP-256 cryptography. The four-phase roadmap begins with contingency planning in 2026, followed by research and testing, controlled environments on Devnet, and a production transition involving a new XRPL amendment.
Quantum computers could threaten Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other major networks. Here’s how Ripple plans to secure the XRP Ledger.
