RWA Protocols Surpass $10 Billion TVL, XRP Poised for Growth
1min read The total value locked (TVL) in real-world asset (RWA) protocols has surpassed $10 billion, marking a significant milestone in the growth of blockchain-based tokenization of traditional assets. This development was highlighted by Brett, a prominent figure in the XRP community, who referenced a chart showing a steady climb in TVL from under $5 billion in mid-2024 to over $10 billion by April 2025. This represents more than 100% growth within a year, reflecting expanding confidence and capital inflows into the sector.
The implications for digital assets like XRP are substantial. Ripple, the company behind XRP, has been actively building infrastructure to support tokenized assets. Recently, Ripple partnered with RWA.xyz to enable seamless tracking of tokenized assets and RLUSD on the XRP Ledger. This partnership, along with other significant strides in the tokenization market, positions XRP as a key player in supporting the growing wave of tokenized assets.
The XRP Ledger (XRPL) is designed for efficiency and interoperability, traits that are crucial in the tokenization landscape. As traditional financial firms explore blockchain solutions, those with proven scalability will stand out. The XRPL already hosts tokenized Treasury Bills (T-Bills) and other assets, making it a popular choice for institutions looking to launch RWAs on the blockchain. whiterock, a multi-million dollar tokenized securities platform, recently went live on the XRPL, bringing tokenized stocks, bonds, gold, silver, and other real-world assets into the digital finance ecosystem.
The $10 billion milestone in RWA TVL indicates that tokenization is not a distant concept but is already underway. This rise in locked value across protocols signals that institutional demand is growing, and the market is responding favorably. XRP, with its existing enterprise solutions for real-world value transfer, is well-positioned to benefit significantly from this adoption curve. If the trend in RWA TVL continues, the digital asset’s relevance as a settlement asset and infrastructure layer will become even more pronounced. Brett’s post serves as a timely signal that the tokenization market is accelerating, and XRP is capitalizing on that growth.
