The XRP Ledger (XRPL) has achieved a new milestone, hitting $3 billion in total tokenized value on the network. Crypto pundit X Finance Bull highlighted the significance of this milestone, although it looks unlikely to have any impact on price for now. XRP Ledger Hits $3 Billion In Total RWA Value According to data from RWA.xyz, the XRP Ledger has reached $3 billion in total RWA value, representing a 59% increase over the last 30 days. The network currently has 291 RWA projects on the network. Crypto pundit X Finance Bull noted that in a market where people keep acting like utility does not matter, money is still finding its way to chains built for real finance. Related Reading: XRP Ledger Transactions Are Surging Again, Here Are The Numbers The crypto pundit reiterated that institutions are not guessing but moving toward infrastructure they can actually use. In another X post, X Finance Bull cited Ripple executive Luke Judges, who said that the total tokenized RWA value on the XRP Ledger is already closer to $3.75 billion. The pundit remarked that the goal is for the XRP Ledger to rank first in total RWA value, while the network currently ranks 5th. Ripple is currently one of the projects tokenizing on the XRP Ledger with its RLUSD stablecoin, which has a total value of almost $382 million on the network. Ondo Finance has also tokenized its short-term government treasuries on the XRP Ledger, with a total value of $323 million. Justtoken’s JMWH is the largest tokenized asset on the XRP Ledger with a total value of $1.76 billion. The token represents real-world energy-backed transactions. Justtoken also focuses on tokenizing several commodities. Milestone Unlikely To Impact XRP Price For Now Crypto analyst Egrag Crypto stated that XRP’s wave 2 move to the downside is not done yet, signaling that this XRPL milestone is unlikely to impact price for now. The analyst also mentioned that the market is not done shaking out weak hands, with XRP’s momentum still stalling and the structure weakening. Related Reading: The Crash Is Over? XRP Price About To Hit ‘Significant Bottom’ Commenting on the current price action, Egrag Crypto stated that XRP is sitting inside the red flag zone between $1.46 and $1.80. The key levels to watch are $1.46 (immediate support), $1.13 (confirming a breakdown), and $0.90 to $0.73 (likely the wave 2 completion). The analyst noted that the bearish path is preferred for now. As such, XRP losing $1.46 is likely to trigger a continuation lower toward $1.13, then a drop below $1. This is expected to trigger a deep Wave 2 reset before expansion. Meanwhile, a bullish invalidation will occur if XRP reclaims the $1.80-$2 range and closes weekly above it. This will then lead to a Wave 3 expansion, with targets of $5, $8, and $13. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $1.39, down over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com
