Crypto Payments Giant Deepens Partnership With Archax
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.
In June, Archax and Ripple partnered to bring hundreds of millions of dollars of tokenized RWAs onto the XRP Ledger (XRPL). Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said it will help establish the XRPL as one of the leading blockchains for RWA tokenization.
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.
