According to the Ripple chief technology officer, a number of banks have started to adopt XRP for payments and one planned bank tied to Ripple will run entirely on the XRP Ledger. Related Reading: Bitcoin Is ‘Digital Capital’ That Outpaces Traditional Assets—Michael Saylor That claim comes as Ripple seeks a New York banking charter, a Federal Reserve master account, and says it will conform with ISO 20022 messaging standards used by major banks. Reports have disclosed that these steps aim to make the token useful for large-scale settlement work. Banks Begin Real-World Use DBS and Franklin Templeton signed a memorandum of understanding this week to work on tokenized trading and lending products, reports disclosed. Franklin Templeton’s sgBENJI, a US dollar money market fund token, is launching on DBS Digital Exchange. Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin is being used to support trading activity and is reported to be valued at nearly $730 million. DBS is also exploring the acceptance of sgBENJI as repo collateral, which would add liquidity for tokenized assets.

Franklin Templeton said it selected the XRP Ledger for cost and speed reasons, and for its role in scaling tokenized securities. Reports also name BNY Mellon as the custodian for reserves backing RLUSD, a detail that underlines the institutional angle Ripple is pushing. Regulatory And Infrastructure Moves The token’s momentum follows legal and regulatory shifts in the US after Ripple’s long fight with the SEC. Reports note that more than 20 spot XRP ETFs are under consideration, a factor that could pull large institutional capital into the market. The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation — which handles up to $4 quadrillion in settlements a year — has mentioned tokenization in its planning documents, and researchers point out how tokenized settlement rails might change back-office flows if adopted widely. ????
