Ripple, DBS, and Franklin Templeton have teamed up to launch tokenized trading and repo markets on the XRP Ledger.
These markets target institutional investors hungry for innovative, high-speed financial solutions.
Announced on September 18, 2025, this initiative is seen as a groundbreaking move in global finance.
It will redefine how investors navigate volatile markets and leverage tokenized money market funds and stablecoins.
An MOU between Ripple, DBS & Franklin Templeton and XRP
The trio signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to deliver a seamless platform.
Investors will be able to swiftly shift funds between stablecoins, like Ripple’s RLUSD, and yield-generating assets, such as Franklin Templeton’s tokenized US Dollar Short-Term Money Market Fund.
XRP Ledger’s lightning-fast settlement and low fees, allows investors to rebalance portfolios in real-time, maximizing returns even in unfavourable market conditions.
Lim Wee Kian, CEO of DBS Digital Exchange (DDEx) said that Digital assets demand borderless, round-the-clock solutions.
“This collaboration showcases how tokenized securities can supercharge efficiency and liquidity in global markets”, he said.
Why the XRP Ledger?
The XRP Ledger offers high-speed transactions and minimal costs.
Meanwhile, Franklin Templeton will issue sgBENJI directly on the ledger, ensuring a robust and scalable platform for institutional-grade financial products.
With 87% of institutional investors eyeing digital asset allocations by 2025, this taps into a surging demand for regulated, onchain solutions.
