🚨 Ripple’s Next Big Move Could Be Tokenizing Oil... On The XRP Ledger. Ripple’s Middle East & Africa MD Reece Merrick, right after Dubai Land Department’s Phase 2 launched controlled secondary trading of tokenized real estate on XRPL: “This is a massive step for real-world asset adoption in Dubai.” Dubai real estate now trading on-chain, on XRPL. Physical assets at scale in the oil capital of the world? Ripple’s Gulf footprint (verified partnerships only): • UAE → Zand Bank (AEDZ stablecoin + RLUSD custody/liquidity on XRPL rails) + Ctrl Alt/Dubai Land Dept (live real-estate tokenization + Ripple Custody) + DFSA license • Saudi Arabia → MoU with Jeel (Riyad Bank innovation arm) for cross-border payments, custody & RWA tokenization pilots • Bahrain → Strategic partnership with Bahrain Fintech Bay for tokenization PoCs, stablecoins, payments & fintech ecosystem build BlackRock is a major player and Larry Fink said that Tokenization is going to be the next big thing. At the same time, when asked about XRP, he said, “I can’t talk about it right now” and smirked. Ripple is the only crypto company that has entered the repo and mortgage market, and XRP/XRP ETF could be used as collateral in the markets in the near future. Also: UAE & India already executed a landmark crude oil trade settled entirely in local AED + INR currencies with RippleNet using XRP Ledger. Oil is the Gulf’s biggest physical asset. The infrastructure is already live. Next move? 👀⛽show more

Ripple Breaks Ground in the UAE, as RLUSD Becomes... the First U.S. 🇺🇸 Stablecoin Approved Under DFSA 🇦🇪Framework Ripple has officially become the first blockchain company to have its stablecoin RLUSD approved by the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) for use within the prestigious Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). This marks a historic inflection point in the evolution of global stablecoin regulation and sets a bold precedent for the industry. For the first time, a U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin is fully licensed under a Gulf state’s comprehensive virtual asset regulatory regime, unlocking real world use cases across the Middle East’s most advanced financial sandbox. RLUSD can now be integrated into Ripple’s DFSA approved payment infrastructure, as well as deployed by banks, fintechs, and asset managers operating in the DIFC. The UAE, particularly Duba, has positioned itself as a forward thinking digital finance hub, balancing innovation with regulatory oversight. With this approval, RLUSD becomes a compliant liquidity vehicle in a region increasingly looking to bypass outdated correspondent banking systems. It can now power real estate tokenization; as seen with the Dubai Land Department, crossborder payments, merchant settlements, and enterprise treasury flows, all while leveraging XRPL Ripple’s regulatory win sends a powerful message to global players “the path forward isn’t through avoidance, it’s through alignment.” As the UAE becomes a proving ground for regulated stablecoin deployment, other jurisdictions may follow suit, especially those seeking to integrate blockchain without surrendering compliance. This raises the bar for all stablecoin issuers. RLUSD isn’t algorithmic, opaque, or dependent on walled off ecosystems, it’s interoperable, regulated in both the U.S. (via NYDFS) and Dubai, and deeply embedded in XRP Ledger infrastructure. It now stands as the gold standard for stablecoins used in institutional grade finance. RLUSD is the on-ramp. XRP is the engine. As RLUSD flows into corridors like UAE - India, UAE - Africa, and UAE - Europe, XRP becomes the bridge asset to handle illiquid pair conversions and global net settlement. Every RLUSD transaction that hits an exotic corridor where the stablecoin lacks liquidity is an invitation for XRP to step in and close the gap via On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) and decentralized market making. As real estate, commodities, and government-backed tokenization schemes roll out across the jurisdiction XRP gains transactional volume, liquidity demand, and regulatory tailwinds. The DeepFreeze amendment and compliance frameworks coming online only reinforce XRPL’s role as the programmable settlement layer for tokenized finance. SMQKE had shown that 5400 currencies have been issued on the XRPLshow more
