Ripple Senior Vice President Markus Infanger emphasizes that the XRP Ledger (XRPL) is uniquely positioned for the tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs). In a recent discussion, he critiques the current reliance on Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) as transitional tools for asset representation on blockchain networks. Infanger advocates for 'native issuance' where assets are created digitally with compliance and settlement integrated directly into the protocol. He outlines several advantages of XRPL, including its built-in decentralized exchange, low-cost settlement mechanisms, and features like automated market makers and lending vaults. These innovations aim to streamline the process, enhance liquidity, and reduce operational risks associated with asset tokenization. Infanger also mentions ongoing projects such as the collaboration with Dubai’s land regulator to mint property ownership records directly on XRPL, illustrating the practical applications of this technology in simplifying asset transfers and improving compliance.
