OpenEden to Launch Tokenized US Treasury Bills on XRPL with $10M Investment from Ripple

• OpenEden introduces tokenized US Treasury bills to the XRP Ledger, marking a first for the platform.
• Ripple invests $10M in OpenEden’s TBILL tokens, backed by short-term US Treasuries and compliant with KYC/AML regulations.
• OpenEden’s TBILL tokens attract $75M in institutional investments and receive an “A” rating from Moody’s.

Tokenization platform OpenEden is set to launch tokenized US Treasury bills (T-bills) on the XRP Ledger (XRPL). This marks the first time such assets will be available on the XRPL, highlighting the growing intersection between traditional finance and decentralized finance (DeFi).

Ripple Invests $10 Million in OpenEden’s TBILL Tokens

Ripple has enhanced its commitment to real-world asset (RWA) tokenization by investing $10 million in OpenEden’s TBILL tokens. These tokens are backed by short-term US Treasuries, ensuring compliance with Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations. This move demonstrates Ripple’s confidence in the potential of XRPL to support institutional-grade financial applications.

OpenEden’s Growing Institutional Appeal

OpenEden’s TBILL tokens are getting substantial interest from institutional investors, surpassing $75 million in Total Value Locked (TVL). This achievement underscores the market’s confidence in OpenEden’s secure and stable offerings. 

Notably, OpenEden’s tokenized T-bills have received an “A” rating from Moody’s, reflecting their investment-grade quality. Additionally, OpenEden plans to integrate with Ripple USD (XRP), allowing users to mint TBILL tokens using this stablecoin upon its launch later this year.

XRPL: A Foundation for Institutional-Grade DeFi

The XRPL’s infrastructure is designed to support institutional-grade financial use cases. With features like an Automated Market Maker (AMM), Decentralized Identifier (DID), Multi-Purpose Tokens (MPT), Lending Protocol, and native Oracle support, the XRPL provides a solid foundation for RWA tokenization. The platform’s proven reliability and efficiency have positioned it as a leading blockchain for institutional-grade DeFi applications.

Moreover, Ripple’s collaboration with Archax, the UK’s first Financial Conduct Authority-regulated digital asset exchange, aims to bring hundreds of millions of dollars of tokenized RWAs onto the XRPL over the next year. This partnership highlights the potential for significant growth in the tokenization of traditional financial assets on the XRPL.

OpenEden’s initiative to bring tokenized US T-bills to the XRPL represents a step forward in the integration of traditional financial assets with DeFi solutions. Ripple’s investment and the XRPL’s capabilities highlight the promising future of institutional-grade DeFi.
