CoinShares also updated its XRP ETF filing, designating the ticker symbol “XRPL” for a planned Nasdaq listing. These efforts indicate a broader push among asset managers to establish a presence in the XRP market.
Franklin Templeton’s global assets exceed $1 trillion, giving it significant weight in digital asset development. Its inclusion of XRP among its ETF lineup marks another step toward mainstream acceptance of cryptocurrencies. The company already manages similar Bitcoin and Ethereum products, reflecting its steady expansion into blockchain-based finance.
At Ripple’s Swell 2025 event, a BlackRock executive declared, “the market is ready, trillions are coming on-chain.” The statement suggests that BlackRock could soon tokenize traditional assets on the XRP Ledger. Reports indicate potential collaboration with Securitize for tokenizing bonds and real estate.
Such partnerships could mark a shift in institutional blockchain adoption. They may also position XRP as a foundational platform for global asset tokenization. Could this be the next major inflection point for traditional finance, integrating with blockchain systems?
