- OpenEden to debut tokenized U.S. Treasury bills on the XRP Ledger, marking a first for the blockchain platform.
- Ripple invests $10 million in OpenEden’s TBILL tokens, strengthening its role in real-world asset tokenization.
- OpenEden surpasses $75M in TVL for tokenized U.S. T-bills, attracting diverse institutional clients and gaining an “A” rating from Moody’s.
OpenEden has announced that it will introduce tokenized U.S. Treasury bills (T-bills) to the XRP Ledger (XRPL). This marks the first time T-bills, short-term government debt obligations backed by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, will be available on the XRPL. The initiative is a notable development in the growing trend of tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs) on decentralized financial platforms.
Ripple’s $10 Million Investment in TBILL Tokens
Ripple will allocate $10 million to OpenEden’s TBILL tokens, further solidifying its position in the tokenization of traditional assets. These TBILL tokens are backed by short-dated U.S. Treasury bills and reverse repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Treasuries.
This investment is part of a larger fund Ripple has set aside for tokenized T-bills from OpenEden and other issuers. OpenEden’s tokens will also require stringent Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) screenings, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.
Institutional Interest in Tokenized Assets
The introduction of tokenized T-bills on the XRPL aligns with the increasing institutional interest in decentralized finance (DeFi). As institutions explore tokenization, the XRPL’s reliability and efficiency make it a strong contender for hosting institutional-grade financial use cases.
Markus Infanger, Senior Vice President of RippleX, emphasized that the arrival of T-bills on the XRPL, powered by OpenEden, underscores the blockchain’s potential as a leading platform for RWA tokenization.
