The XRP Ledger’s push into real-world asset (RWA) tokenization is gaining serious momentum, as the decentralized platform ONDO Finance has now officially launched its tokenized U.S. Treasuries fund, OUSG, on the network. The move, which follows a similar institutional partnership with Guggenheim, solidifies the XRPL’s growing status as a preferred hub for tokenized traditional finance.

XRP Ledger’s Institutional-Grade Features Attract Major Players
In an official blog post, Ripple further detailed why the XRPL’s native support and enterprise-ready features make it an ideal platform for tokenizing traditional assets like US Treasuries.
The firm cited the XRPL’s built-in decentralized exchange (DEX) and Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) as crucial elements enabling the platform to provide the compliance-first infrastructure that institutions require.
It is worth noting that the XRPL recently allied with US investment manager Guggenheim, with plans to launch the Guggenheim Treasury Services’ US Treasury-backed asset on the XRPL.
