Ripple recently concluded its 5th Apex 2025 summit, the largest annual XRP Ledger (XRPL) event, held in Singapore from 10 to 12 June. The gathering attracted over 750 global leaders, developers, and innovators, showcasing the latest advancements in the XRPL ecosystem. The event underscored the increasing institutional adoption of blockchain technology, driven by the tokenisation of real-world assets and the rise of stablecoins.
A joint report by BCG and Ripple projects the tokenised real-world asset market to reach $18.9 trillion by 2033. Meanwhile, Citi Institute estimates the stablecoin market could grow by up to 1,500%, reaching over $3 trillion by 2030. These projections highlight the significant potential for growth and transformation within the blockchain sector.
During the summit, Ripple made several key announcements demonstrating how XRPL is facilitating enterprise-grade blockchain use cases globally. Guggenheim Treasury Services has launched its Digital Commercial Paper (DCP) on the XRPL, a fixed income asset secured by US Treasuries and rated Prime-1 by Moody’s. This initiative aims to modernise the issuance and transaction of commercial paper.
Additionally, Ondo Finance introduced its tokenised US treasury fund, Ondo Short-Term US Government Treasuries (OUSG), on the XRPL. Qualified Purchasers can now seamlessly subscribe and redeem OUSG with RLUSD, Ripple’s enterprise-grade stablecoin. Furthermore, Ripple announced the launch of USDC, the world’s largest regulated stablecoin issued by Circle, on the XRPL. This addition is part of the growing momentum behind global stablecoins on the network.
These developments at Apex 2025 highlight the expanding utility of XRPL in facilitating remittances, decentralised finance (DeFi), and enterprise-grade payments, further enhancing the role of XRP as a native asset for liquidity.
