Mercado Bitcoin (MB) has initiated the tokenization of over $200 million worth of regulated real-world assets (RWAs) on the XRP Ledger (XRPL). The transaction batch comprises fixed income and equity income instruments and marks MB’s strategic expansion into institutional blockchain-based assets.
The project bridges financial markets between South America and Europe, harnessing XRPL’s secure infrastructure featuring a decentralized validator network and over 3.3 million active wallets globally. This integration facilitates rapid tokenization while boosting liquidity and institutional adoption across both continents.
Supported by projections from Ripple and Boston Consulting Group—which forecast RWA tokenization growth from $0.6 trillion to nearly $19 trillion by 2033—the initiative connects MB to a network of over 70 central banks and regulatory bodies. This framework reinforces compliance standards and enhances accessibility to blockchain-enabled asset markets worldwide.
