Ripple has recently intensified efforts to expand the XRP Ledger infrastructure, aiming to drive institutional adoption of blockchain technology. As a result, the network has witnessed a significant rise in its holder base.
XRP Ledger RWA holders rise 25% as stablecoin market cap drops to $901.4 million
XRP Ledger’s RWA ecosystem gains traction
Latest data from the real-world asset (RWA) ecosystem indicate that the number of RWA holders on the XRP Ledger climbed by 25.16% over the past month. This rise comes as Ripple, a San Francisco-based fintech company and developer of payment protocols, enhances its commitment to tokenized assets for institutional finance.
Just days ago, Ripple announced new investments in two major firms to further support the XRP Ledger infrastructure. These investments focus on advancing the network’s capability to accommodate greater institutional use cases and foster growth in tokenized assets on-chain.
Ripple’s ongoing expansion within capital markets is closely tied to its strategy of positioning the XRP Ledger as a preferred platform for large-scale finance and RWA tokenization. This approach underscores growth not only in user numbers but also in broader institutional interest.
Besides the uptick in RWA holders, figures reveal that more than 1,000 developers and businesses are actively building on the XRP Ledger. This continued influx is attributed to the network’s focus on enterprise-grade reliability, scalability, and the ability to facilitate cost-efficient transactions.
Mini dictionary: Real-world asset (RWA): Assets that exist outside of the digital world, such as real estate or commodities, represented on a blockchain through tokenization, allowing them to be bought, sold, or transferred more easily.
Recent figures show the number of RWA holders on the XRP Ledger climbed by 25.16% in the past month, reflecting growing institutional interest and Ripple’s push to expand the network’s use cases for tokenized assets.
Mixed progress in XRP Ledger stablecoin market
Despite the acceleration in RWA growth, the stablecoin market on the XRP Ledger showed contrasting results. Market capitalization for stablecoins held on the network dropped 9.04% over the same 30-day period, reaching $901.4 million.
However, the number of stablecoin holders on the XRP Ledger recorded a slight increase in activity. Addresses holding stablecoins grew by 0.92% for the month, rising to over 60,240.
| RWA holders | +25.16% |
| Stablecoin market cap | $901.4 million (–9.04%) |
| Stablecoin holders | 60,240 (+0.92%) |
The mixed performance within the stablecoin segment suggests a divergence between capital flows and user participation. While capital declined, activity among holders managed to expand modestly.
The number of stablecoin holders on the XRP Ledger surpassed 60,240 addresses, even as overall market capitalization dipped.

Ford Publicly Hits Back at US Secretary of Transportation, US Auto Industry "Fighting to Preserve Electric Vehicles"
The U.S. Secretary of Transportation is pressuring to cut off cooperation with Chinese companies such as CATL. Ford criticized Secretary Buttigieg for "overstepping" and being "factually incorrect," citing positive statements from the White House and the Department of Commerce as evidence that Buttigieg does not represent the official government position. The core conflict lies in the fact that U.S. carmakers' transition to electrification is highly dependent on Chinese battery technology. Severing cooperation would force them back into the shrinking fuel vehicle market, putting the policy goals of manufacturing reshoring and electrification upgrades in a dilemma.

They boosted the Yen but failed to hold U.S. Treasury bonds! Is Basent a "weak teammate" for U.S. stocks?
This week, Besant made high-profile calls to suppress yen short positions and raised the US Treasury repo limit to $6 billion. As a result, the yen strengthened, but US Treasuries declined—10-year yields hit their highest level since October 2023, and 30-year yields approached a twenty-year peak. Analysts noted that the combination of a stronger yen and rising US Treasury yields is simultaneously impacting carry trades and stock valuations, posing a dual threat to the US stock market bull run. This is described as "the greatest risk facing the bull market."
