Linklogis, a company based in China, experienced a 23% spike in share price after it announced a strategic collaboration with the XRP Ledger.
Linklogis confirmed it will launch a digital supply chain finance application on the XRP Ledger public blockchain, continuing its push towards blockchain adoption, particularly in the context of China’s public blockchain prohibitions.
The purpose of the application is to improve the speed, transparency and security of supply chain financing, and Linklogis’ aim to use a decentralized technology to revolutionize trade finance was clear.
This is viewed as a key milestone for both Linklogis and XRP Ledger as one of the first significant integrations of blockchain technology into a regulated financial ecosystem in China.
Scaling Cross-Border Trade Finance
Currently, Linklogis has only 2.5% of its motions coming from cross-border (international) trade finance, a part of its business that it is trying to significantly grow as a result of the alliance with the XRP Ledger.
In the first half of 2025 alone, Linklogis’ cross-border finance platform processed RMB 4.8 billion ($670 million) in trade transactions.
While it may take a while for the full transaction volume to be migrated onto the blockchain, the company wants people to clearly understand that it is keen on enhancing efficiency and accuracy (transparency and within invoice financing) through its partnership with XRP Ledger.
If this partnership can eliminate delays in settlement and improve traceability, it strengthens Linklogis’ role in international/global supply chain financing.
Tokenization and Real-World Assets
In addition to conventional bank financing, Linklogis is also investigating opportunities in asset-backed securities (ABS) via blockchain platforms.
ABS in supply chain finance entails securitizing unpaid receivables, thus providing unlocked liquidity for businesses.
In its announcement, Linklogis implied it may eventually tokenize these financial instruments into real-world assets (RWA) on blockchain platforms.
Currently, the company has a toehold in this area through Olea, its joint venture with Standard Chartered, which focuses on cross-border trade finance and blockchain-enabled tokenization.
While Olea is separate from the XRP Ledger initiative, both projects demonstrate Linklogis’ overarching vision of integrating traditional financial paradigms with blockchain innovation.

Market Reaction and Long-Term Outlook
The stock market reacted quickly and decisively to the news with Linklogis shares jumping 23.21% on the day to HK$2.76 at press time, resulting in HK$0.52 increase in stock price.
This jump reflects investor optimism about the partnership but also about potential long-term blockchain capabilities as part of Linklogis’ overall blockchain roadmap.
While analysts note that cross-border financing is only a small segment of Linklogis operation today, the acceptance of blockchain infrastructure will put Linklogis in prime position to profit from the future demand for digital finance solutions.
With countries around the world having more public debates and discussions on blockchain utilization in trade finance.
Linklogis’ engagement with XRP Ledger may provide one avenue through which other Chinese firms may be able to cross the colour line whilst still transforming themselves with regard to their technological transformation.

Broader XRP Ledger Developments
The Linklogis news arrives in large part at the same time that XRP Ledger has seen a global series of developments enhancing its standing in blockchain finance.
UnoCrypto reported on June 9th, Ripple also announced a $200,000 grant program for Japanese Web3 developers. The grant program, undertaken in collaboration with Web3 Salon and JETRO, supports projects related to DeFi, tokenized assets, and digital payments.
Earlier on July 25th, we reported an announcement from Brazil’s VERT that it is starting a new platform on the XRP Ledger and recorded BRL 700 million of agribusiness credit securitie.
This followed another international use case for the blockchain, verifying its promise for transparency and compliance aspects.
All of these events show the XRP Ledger is gaining more global perspective, denting the footprint of other blockchains at the same time, contributing to the confidence of partnerships such as this Linklogis development.
