- Mercado Bitcoin to tokenize $200M in assets using XRP Ledger’s global reach
- MB leverages XRPL and Ripple to enhance cross-border financial accessibility
- Tokenized asset market set to surge from $0.6T to $19T by 2033, report shows
Mercado Bitcoin (MB), the largest digital asset platform in Latin America, is set to tokenize over $200 million worth of regulated financial assets on the XRP Ledger (XRPL), a move that can bridge traditional finance with blockchain technology.
The initiative will bring regulated fixed-income and equity-income instruments on-chain, a strategy designed to improve global liquidity and make investment products more accessible across borders, particularly between South America and Europe.
A Proven Leader in Tokenizing Real-World Assets
Tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs) marks a pivotal moment for MB’s international strategy. The company is already known as one of the top five tokenizers of private credit assets globally.
To date, MB has successfully tokenized over R$ 1 billion in RWAs, maintaining a flawless zero-default record. This track record highlights the platform’s credibility and risk management in handling asset-backed digital instruments.

Moreover, the initiative is supported by Ripple, a primary contributor to the XRPL, and a key player in enterprise blockchain solutions. Ripple’s partnership with MB includes facilitating faster, more cost-effective treasury flows between Brazil and Portugal. MB was also the first in Brazil to list RLUSD, Ripple’s USD-backed stablecoin, which enhances international trade efficiency.
Why Mercado Bitcoin Chose the XRP Ledger
Launched in 2012, the XRP Ledger has emerged as a mature, scalable blockchain infrastructure. It has processed over 3.3 billion transactions without downtime or breaches. With more than 200 validators and six million active wallets, it remains one of the most decentralized and reliable networks in the market.

MB’s decision to deploy on XRPL stems from its unmatched speed, security, and low transaction costs. Besides, the network is trusted by over 70 central banks, regulators, and major financial institutions worldwide. This trust is crucial in convincing traditional finance to explore blockchain technology for tokenizing regulated assets.
Tapping into a Projected $19 Trillion Market
The move comes amid growing global interest in asset tokenization. A 2025 report by Ripple and Boston Consulting Group forecasts that RWAs could grow from $0.6 trillion today to nearly $19 trillion by 2033.
This projection indicates how fast institutional interest is scaling in the digital asset space, driven by the need for modern infrastructure.
