Ripple’s XRPL Makes History: Tokenized US Treasuries Now Live
Wall Street’s paper pushers just got a blockchain wake-up call—Ripple’s XRPL debuts the first-ever tokenized US Treasury securities. No middlemen, no 3-day settlement delays—just instant ownership on-chain.
Why it matters: This isn’t just about digitizing bonds. It’s a direct challenge to the archaic plumbing of traditional finance. The XRP Ledger’s speed and low costs could finally drag Treasury trading into the 21st century.
The cynical take: Banks will now spend millions lobbying against this while quietly building their own tokenized versions. Progress—but only when it protects their profit margins.
