XRP News Today: XRP Ledger Tokenizes $130M Agribusiness Credit in Brazil, Accelerating RWA Adoption

The XRP Ledger (XRPL) has facilitated the tokenization of $130 million in Agribusiness Receivables Certificates (CRAs), a pivotal financial instrument in Brazil’s agricultural sector. This initiative, spearheaded by asset manager VERT, marks a significant milestone in the tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs) in the country. The platform, launched on July 22, 2025, leverages XRPL and an Ethereum-compatible sidechain to record transactions on-chain, enhancing transparency and operational efficiency for a sector that contributes over 20% to Brazil’s GDP [1][2]. By digitizing CRAs—financial instruments aggregating future cash flows from agricultural operations—VERT aims to streamline credit management while reducing processing times and transaction costs [3].

The tokenization project builds on XRPL’s rising prominence in institutional RWA applications, with the ledger experiencing a 2,260% surge in such assets over recent months [4]. VERT’s platform logs every credit event, from issuance to repayment, directly on the blockchain, creating an auditable and secure framework. This approach aligns with Brazil’s broader efforts to modernize its financial infrastructure, particularly in agribusiness, where traditional systems have long struggled with opaque processes and high administrative overhead [5].

The initiative is not an isolated experiment but part of a larger trend. VERT plans to expand its tokenized debt portfolio beyond the initial $130 million, targeting $500 million in structured credit instruments. This scalability is enabled by XRPL’s interoperability with EVM-compatible sidechains, allowing seamless integration with existing financial systems. The project also aligns with Mercado Bitcoin’s parallel plans to tokenize $200 million in real-world assets on the same network, underscoring a coordinated push toward digital infrastructure in Brazil [6].

Tokenizing CRAs addresses liquidity challenges in agribusiness credit by enabling fractional ownership and secondary market trading. This innovation could broaden access for investors and reduce barriers for smaller agricultural producers, who have historically faced limited financing options. The platform’s compliance with Brazil’s regulatory frameworks ensures alignment with existing financial architecture, fostering trust among stakeholders while avoiding fragmentation [7].

The success of this project could accelerate blockchain adoption in Brazil’s financial sector, particularly in markets where traditional infrastructure lags. For VERT, the initiative represents a strategic shift toward digital asset management, positioning the firm as a leader in the country’s evolving capital markets [8]. Meanwhile, XRPL’s role in this endeavor highlights its growing appeal for institutional applications, particularly in emerging markets seeking to leverage blockchain for economic modernization.
