Ripple has partnered with Aviva Investors to explore issuing and managing tokenized traditional fund structures on the XRP Ledger. The initiative marks Ripple’s first collaboration with a European asset manager and Aviva Investors’ initial move into tokenized funds. The project is expected to develop through 2026 and beyond.
Ripple said it will support the effort as part of its broader strategy to position the XRP Ledger as infrastructure for regulated financial assets. The public blockchain, maintained by independent validators, is designed for financial transactions and has processed billions of transactions since launch. The companies framed the move as a step toward scaling regulated assets on distributed ledger technology.
The partnership reflects growing institutional interest in tokenization as asset managers seek operational efficiencies and new distribution models. Ripple has recently expanded its institutional offerings, including integrations with decentralized finance platforms, while continuing to focus on private capital markets rather than pursuing a public listing.
