Crypto pundit X Finance Bull has explained how XRP is positioned to absorb a 
share of the $100 trillion in assets that the Depository Trust and Clearing 
Corporation (DTCC) has in custody. He notably mentioned Ripple and the role 
the crypto firm is playing in making this possible for XRP. How XRP Is 
Positioned To Take A Share of DTCC’s $100 Trillion Assets In an X post, X 
Finance Bull noted that in 2025, DTCC filed patents that named Ripple and the 
XRP Ledger as compatible infrastructure for tokenized finance. Following that, 
Ripple acquired Hidden Road, a prime brokerage that clears $3 trillion 
annually for over 300 institutional clients, for $1.25 billion. Related

Holders The pundit then mentioned that earlier this month, Hidden Road, which 
is now Ripple Prime, was added to the DTCC’s NSCC directory. He noted that 
this is the same clearing infrastructure used by Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan. X 
Finance Bull added that no crypto company has ever achieved this feat, with 
Ripple now embedded inside Wall Street’s machinery. The pundit believes that 
these developments position XRP to gain a share of DTCC’s custody assets. X 
Finance Bull noted that the tokenization market is projected to hit between 
$16 and $30 trillion by 2030. Meanwhile, the DTCC’s director has spoken about 
a $100 trillion tokenization goal. He added that Ripple is inside the system 
and alleged that there are stated plans to migrate post-trade activity to the 
XRP Ledger. The pundit stated that noting that is guaranteed for XRP, but that 
the positioning is undeniable. In line with this, he remarked that XRP holders 
aren’t betting on hype but on infrastructure that is already built from the 
inside out. Ripple Working To Improve XRP Ledger’s Security Ripple has 
unveiled new plans to improve the XRP Ledger’s security as more institutions 
adopt the network and tokenize real-world assets on it. Ripple’s Head of 
Engineering, Ayo Akinyele, announced in an X post that they are taking a more 
proactive, AI-driven approach to strengthen the network’s security. Related

will include AI-assisted testing across the development lifecycle, a dedicated 
red team, and higher standards for how they evaluate changes before they go 
live. The Ripple executive noted that the goal is to continuously strengthen 
the XRP Ledger’s reliability as the network scales to support global payments, 
tokenized assets, and institutional use cases. It is worth noting that the XRP 
Ledger currently ranks 8th in tokenized RWA, with a total tokenized value of 
$1.9 billion on the network, according to RWA.xyz. Ripple has continued to 
secure partnerships with institutions that it has onboarded to tokenize their 
financial products on the network. At the time of writing, the XRP price is 
trading at around $1.36, down over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data 
from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from
