BREAKING: Ondo Brings Tokenized US Treasuries to XRP Ledger—DeFi Just Got a Treasury-Grade Upgrade
Wall Street meets blockchain—again. Ondo Finance just flipped the switch on tokenized US Treasuries for the XRP Ledger, merging traditional finance''s ''safe haven'' with crypto''s 24/7 trading.
Why it matters: This isn''t just another stablecoin. Tokenized Treasuries offer yield-bearing exposure to US government debt, wrapped in blockchain efficiency. The play? Attract institutional cash while giving crypto natives a hedge against volatility.
The XRP angle: Ripple''s ledger gets its first taste of real-world assets (RWAs), a sector that''s exploded to $12B+ in 2025. Speed and low fees could make it a dark horse against Ethereum''s dominance.
The cynic''s take: Because nothing says ''decentralization'' like digitized T-bills—the ultimate symbol of the fiat system crypto was meant to escape. Irony aside, the yield-hungry crowd won''t care.
