Mercado Bitcoin to Tokenize $200m in Regulated Assets on XRP Ledger

Mercado Bitcoin is partnering with Ripple to tokenize over $200 million in regulated assets, including fixed income and equity instruments, on the XRP Ledger. This move aims to expand the exchange's reach beyond Brazil and position it at the forefront of blockchain's integration with traditional finance. The XRP Ledger's infrastructure is well-suited for regulated assets, with near-instant finality and negligible fees. The partnership is part of a broader institutional pivot toward blockchain-based finance, with a report forecasting the tokenized asset market to surge to $19 trillion by 2033.
