Ripple’s dollar-backed stablecoin RLUSD is gaining serious momentum. New data shows that its market capitalization increased by almost 18% in the last 30 days, reaching about $420 million. That rise places RLUSD among the fastest growing regulated stablecoins on the market right now.

At the same time, tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) is also expanding. The total value of tokenized assets on the network increased by 8.77% during the same period. It now stands at almost $158 million. Taken together, these gains reflect a broader shift toward actual on-chain utility rather than pure speculation. The XRPL now hosts 47 real-world asset projects. With more than 3,600 holders interacting with tokenized assets. That growth highlights the growing interest of both developers and institutions.
Stablecoin Adoption and Tokenized Assets Grow Side by Side
The use of stablecoins on XRPL is also increasing rapidly. Current data shows more than 33,600 stablecoin holders. It is a huge jump compared to just a month ago. That increase points to growing confidence in using blockchain for real payments and settlements. RLUSD plays a central role in that change. As a regulated stablecoin backed by Ripple’s payments infrastructure, it supports faster transfers, lower fees, and constant liquidity. These features make it attractive to merchants, fintech companies, and cross-border payment providers.
Meanwhile, assets tokenized on XRPL include financial instruments, physical assets, and settlement products. Together, these tools transform the network from a simple payment gateway to a fully digital financial layer. Instead of just moving cryptocurrencies, users now move real value tied directly to off-chain assets. This steady growth shows that tokenization is no longer a theory. It is already active and escalating.
ETF Access Expands as Vanguard Opens the Door
The timing of RLUSD’s growth also coincides with a major shift in traditional finance. On December 2, Vanguard officially began allowing clients to access crypto ETFs through its brokerage platform. That move marks a major change in the stance of one of the world’s largest asset managers. Vanguard clients can now access ETFs linked to Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Solana, and other digital assets. However, the company confirmed that it will not issue its own crypto ETFs and will continue to avoid meme coin products.
This policy change follows the appointment of Vanguard CEO Salim Ramji, who supports blockchain innovation. Under previous leadership, Vanguard maintained a strict stance against cryptocurrencies. That position has now clearly softened due to customer demand. At the same time, 21Shares recently launched its XRP spot ETF in the US while Canary Capital and Grayscale continue to expand their crypto ETF offerings. Together, these products make it easy for institutions to gain exposure without holding cryptocurrencies directly.
XRP Ledger Gains Ground as Regulation Meets Infrastructure
With the growth of RLUSD, tokenization accelerates and access to ETFs expands. The XRP Ledger now finds itself at a strong crossroads between cryptocurrencies and traditional finance. Institutions want regulated exposure. Developers want a stable infrastructure. XRPL now offers both.
More importantly, this growth occurred during a period of increased market volatility. That moment adds extra weight to these figures. It shows that demand is not driven solely by price cycles. It is driven by real use cases. Currently, the data speaks clearly. RLUSD is growing rapidly. Tokenized assets are gaining traction and mainstream finance is finally opening the door.
