XRP News Today: VERT Tokenizes $130M Agribusiness Receivables on XRP Ledger, Aims for $500M Expansion

Brazilian securitization company VERT has launched a blockchain-based private credit platform on the XRP Ledger, marking a significant step in modernizing the country’s $200 billion private credit market. The platform, introduced on July 23, 2025, enables real-time tracking of cash flows, loan events, and repayments through tokenization, leveraging the XRP Ledger’s energy efficiency and low transaction costs. This initiative aligns with VERT’s strategy to digitize real-world assets (RWAs) while maintaining compliance with regulatory standards [1].

The platform’s debut was marked by the tokenization of $130 million in Brazilian agribusiness receivables via the XRP Ledger, representing the first deployment of its capabilities. This pilot project utilized the XRPL EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) integration to tokenize illiquid assets like agricultural receivables, aiming to unlock liquidity for borrowers and create diversified investment opportunities. VERT has also outlined a $500 million expansion pipeline for tokenized private credit, signaling confidence in the scalability and efficiency of the model [2].

The initiative reflects broader trends in Brazil’s financial ecosystem, where blockchain is increasingly viewed as a tool to enhance transparency and reduce friction in asset management. By tokenizing long-term agribusiness receivables—critical for the sector’s operations—VERT addresses challenges such as documentation inefficiencies and cross-border transaction complexities. The platform’s design emphasizes auditability, with metadata stored on-chain to ensure regulatory alignment [3].

Analysts highlight the potential for VERT’s move to accelerate Brazil’s adoption of digital asset infrastructure, particularly in agriculture, a cornerstone of the economy. However, success hinges on market acceptance and the ability to scale operations without compromising compliance. The agribusiness sector’s reliance on structured credit makes it an ideal candidate for tokenization, as blockchain’s immutable ledger can streamline processes and improve trust among stakeholders [4].

The partnership between VERT and Ripple underscores growing collaboration between traditional financial institutions and blockchain networks. The XRP Ledger’s low-cost transactions and energy efficiency provide a competitive edge in the RWA space, positioning VERT to capitalize on Brazil’s expanding digital asset landscape. The platform’s launch has drawn attention from both domestic and international investors, reflecting increasing interest in tokenized assets as a means to address inefficiencies in private credit markets [5].

VERT’s strategy aligns with an industry-wide shift toward tokenization as a solution for operational inefficiencies. By reducing costs and enhancing liquidity, the firm aims to attract new investors to underserved sectors. The $500 million expansion pipeline suggests a long-term commitment to this model, with potential systemic effects on Brazil’s financial infrastructure. The firm’s focus on compliance and transparency could set a precedent for other institutions exploring blockchain adoption [6].

While the platform’s impact on the XRP price remains unproven, its high-profile use case could bolster confidence in the XRP Ledger’s utility for real-world applications. The cryptocurrency community remains divided on whether institutional adoption will directly influence XRP’s market performance, but VERT’s initiative highlights the ledger’s potential as a scalable infrastructure for private credit [7].

The launch represents a strategic pivot for VERT, leveraging decentralized technology to transform Brazil’s private credit landscape. By integrating blockchain into core operations, the firm aims to enhance transparency, reduce friction, and expand access to capital for agribusinesses. This move not only addresses immediate sectoral needs but also positions Brazil as a leader in adopting digital solutions for traditional financial challenges.
