- Ripple and Archax have partnered to boost RWA funding on the XRP Ledger.
- XRPL would benefit from Archax’s existing partnerships with leading financial institutions.
- The partnership is strategic and timely, considering the current state of the blockchain industry.
Ripple, the blockchain payments company behind XRP, and Archax, a regulated digital asset exchange, are expanding their partnership to bring hundreds of millions of dollars in tokenized Real-World Assets (RWAs) to the XRP Ledger. The move positions the XRP Ledger as a frontrunner in the emerging market for tokenized assets.
In a post on its official X account, Ripple highlighted aspects of the partnership, noting that XRPL will benefit from Archax’s existing partnerships with leading financial institutions in the tokenization of RWAs. As a result, those institutions could use the XRPL to tokenize their assets following the recent Ripple-Archax partnership.
Ripple’s Senior Vice President Markus Infanger called his firm’s partnership with Archax strategic and timely, considering the current state of the blockchain industry. He noted:
“Our industry is at the start of the next major adoption stage in which blockchain technology will deliver real utility in financial markets at scale.”
Infanger confirmed his company’s excitement at Archax’s vision of driving the adoption of blockchain and digital assets technology amongst financial institutions. He noted that it further strengthens XRPL’s credentials as one of the leading blockchains for RWA tokenization.
The announcement confirmed that Ripple and Archax share a compliance-first mindset, noting that both companies work proactively with regulators and policymakers. It also cited their collaboration which dates back to 2022, when Archax collaborated with Metaco to offer digital asset custody services to its clients. Ripple later acquired Metaco in mid-2023.
Archax CEO Graham Rodford expressed confidence in the growing demand for real-world asset tokenization, stating that the technology industry has reached a pivotal moment for mainstream adoption. He affirmed Archax’s commitment to facilitating institutional adoption of blockchain technology by enabling them to tokenize their assets on the XRP Ledger.
