Tokenized finance just hit overdrive as the XRP Ledger goes live with institutional-grade U.S. Treasuries, unlocking 24/7 real-world asset access via blockchain.
XRP Ledger Lights up With Real-World Assets – OUSG Treasuries Go Live
Ripple announced on June 11 that Ondo Finance’s tokenized short-term U.S. Treasuries product, OUSG, is now live on the XRP Ledger (XRPL), marking a significant advancement in institutional access to real-world assets onchain. The launch enables Qualified Purchasers to mint and redeem OUSG around the clock using Ripple’s stablecoin, RLUSD.
The move brings real-world Treasury exposure directly onto XRPL’s blockchain infrastructure, demonstrating a practical use case for tokenization in capital markets. Ripple described the event as a milestone: “Ondo Finance’s Ondo Short-Term U.S. Government Treasuries (OUSG) is now live on the XRP Ledger.” The firm added:
This milestone expands institutional access to one of the most credible, institutional-grade real-world assets onchain—accessible via seamless minting and redemptions with Ripple’s enterprise-grade stablecoin, RLUSD.
With over $1.3 billion in assets under management and $670 million in OUSG’s TVL alone, Ondo Finance’s expansion to XRPL positions the platform among a growing number of blockchain venues facilitating tokenized treasury products. Ripple and Ondo are backing the launch with liquidity support to foster early adoption and utility. RLUSD functions as the settlement medium, allowing financial institutions to shift capital in and out of Treasuries efficiently without depending on legacy banking hours or systems.
This integration aims to resolve common frictions in institutional finance, such as delayed settlements and capital inefficiencies, by offering compliance-aligned onchain alternatives. XRPL is engineered to meet the needs of institutional DeFi, providing native support for token issuance, an embedded decentralized exchange, decentralized identifiers, and forthcoming features like Multi-Purpose Tokens and Permissioned Domains.
RippleX SVP Markus Infanger emphasized the real-world maturity of this development, stating: “Ondo’s OUSG going live on the XRPL demonstrates that tokenized finance is no longer theoretical, it’s maturing in real markets. Institutions can now access high-quality assets like U.S. treasuries on public blockchains, with the compliance and efficiency they need.” Ripple added:
XRPL is rapidly becoming a destination for institutional-grade tokenized finance.
