Tokenized US Treasury bonds sitting on the XRP Ledger have grown from $50 
million to $418 million in roughly a year — an eightfold jump that is drawing 
fresh attention to Ripple&#8217;s blockchain network and renewing speculation about 
where XRP&#8217;s price could go next. Related Reading: Warren Zeroes In On Crypto

Platforms including OpenEden, Ondo Finance, and Zeconomy are behind the 
Treasury tokenization push on XRPL. Their activity signals that established 
financial players are testing the network as a way to move traditional assets 
onto a blockchain rail. According to data tracking platform RWA.xyz, the XRP 
Ledger climbed more than 60% over the past 30 days in its RWA rankings, 
putting it within striking distance of BNB Chain. Total tokenized real-world 
asset value on XRPL has crossed $3.6 billion in just five months, based on 
data cited by community commentator X Finance Bull in a post on X. Why are 
people still hating on ripple:native when XRPL is up 63% in the last 30 days 
on the RWA League Table?👇 In just 5 months, the XRP Ledger absorbed over $3.5B

world assets, for those unfamiliar, are traditional financial products — 
bonds, funds, real estate, commodities — represented as tokens on a 
blockchain. Supporters of the technology say moving these assets on-chain 
makes them easier to trade, settle, and distribute. Ripple and the XRPL 
Foundation have been actively courting institutions to bring that kind of 
activity to their network. X Finance Bull, who describes himself as an XRP 
community educator, pointed to the growth figures as evidence that the broader 
market is still underpricing the token. He argued that trillions of dollars in 
assets could eventually be tokenized on XRPL — a scenario that, in his view, 
would push XRP&#8217;s price well above current levels toward $10. &#8220;XRP will melt 
faces,&#8221; he wrote. A Market Still Far Ahead The overall tokenized asset market 
is already valued at over $350 billion globally. XRPL&#8217;s $3.6 billion share 
puts it at roughly one percent of that total, leaving significant room — at 
least on paper — for further growth if adoption continues. Related Reading: Is

issuance and transfer activity on the network suggest institutions are not 
just exploring the idea but are actively using it, according to data firm 
Evernorth. To make the case that skeptics will eventually be proven wrong, X 
Finance Bull drew a comparison to Bitcoin&#8217;s early days. Critics once insisted 
BTC would never clear $100. It went on to reach a record close to $126,000 in 
October 2025. The analyst used that history to frame current doubts about XRP 
as a repeat of the same kind of early dismissal. Featured image from Unsplash,

BREAKING: Bitcoin steadies near $78K as Iran responds to U.S. peace terms

Over the past few weeks, Bitcoin has struggled to break above the $82,000 
price resistance and now trades near $78,000. While the integrity of either of 
these zones carries significant yet different implications for the flagship 
cryptocurrency’s growth, a crypto research and education group has revealed 
that several factors indicate a growing fragility in the market. Leveraged 
Risks On The Rise As ETF Outflows Surge In a recent Quicktake post on 
CryptoQuant, XWIN Research Japan delved into multiple on-chain signals that 
collectively flashed a signal of uncertainty for the Bitcoin market. The 
crypto research group began by citing Axel Adler Jr.’s Estimated Leverage 
Ratio (ELR). For context, the ELR measures the amount of leverage traders are 
using in the Bitcoin futures market by comparing open interest to the amount 
of BTC held on exchanges. In the Quicktake post, the education group 
highlighted that the ELR had surged toward 14.9% — a sign that traders are 
increasingly borrowing capital to maintain their bullish exposures. Related

$80,000 XWIN Research Japan noted that although high leverage can boost prices 
in the near-term, “healthy bull markets are usually driven by spot demand.” 
According to the analytics firm, current conditions only increase the Bitcoin 
market’s vulnerability to sudden liquidation events. Notably, there have been 
significant surges in both Open Interest and Funding Rates, reflecting an 
overwhelming presence of long positions. XWIN Research Japan pointed out that 
this could be a dangerous scenario, as “long positions are now increasingly 
exposed to downside volatility” following Bitcoin’s recent move to $82,000, 
also driven by sell-side liquidity. Interestingly, all of these are ongoing, 
as US-based institutions seem to be on a hiatus (as reflected in a prolonged 
negative reading of the Coinbase Premium). More shockingly, US Spot Bitcoin 
ETFs saw almost $1 billion in capital outflows over the past week, according 
to XWIN Research Japan. To further paint a clear picture of the market 
situation, XWIN Research cited the lingering backdrop of worsening 
macroeconomic conditions. The crypto research group highlighted that the US 
10-year Treasury yield has surged to near 4.6%, while the 30-year yield jumped 
above 5%. — both of which reveal that the markets currently lean towards the 
“higher for longer” rates. Liquidity Still On The Sidelines: Research Group 
Despite these conditions, XWIN Research emphasized that the market remains 
definitely bearish. According to the group, Bitcoin Long-term Holders hold 
more than 15 million BTC, with more than 316,000 BTC entering the market over 
the past month. Furthermore, XWIN Research highlighted a concurrently growing 
liquidity pool on Binance (the world’s leading crypto exchange by trading 
volume), as reflected in its stablecoin inflows. Ultimately, the research 
institute highlighted the $78K–$79K range, which overlaps with the STH 
Realized Price. If this key level fails, XWIN Research expects bearish 
pressure to immediately rise. On the other hand, ETF flow stability should 
give Bitcoin some bullish thrust as the Coinbase Premium recovers. As of this 
writing, Bitcoin is worth about $78,194, recording a daily loss by 1.2%.
