Ripple disclosed allocating $5 million into tokens on abrdn’s Lux fund. This is part of a larger fund that the company will allocate to RWAs on the XRPL provided by a range of asset managers.

“The arrival of abrdn’s money market fund on XRPL demonstrates how real-world assets are being tokenized to enhance operational efficiencies, while further reinforcing the XRPL as one of the leading blockchains for real-world asset tokenization,” said Markus Infanger, Senior Vice President, RippleX.

Last week, Archax added State Street, Fidelity International and Legal & General Investment Management (LGIM) funds to its tokenized RWA offerings. These tokenized funds will initially be available on XRP Ledger (XRPL), Hedera and Arbitrum blockchains.
