Tokenized U.S. Treasuries have officially launched on the XRP Ledger (XRPL), marking a major milestone for real-world asset adoption in decentralized finance.
The development comes as Ondo Finance’s OUSG, a tokenized version of short-term U.S. Treasuries, integrates with Ripple’s RLUSD, a newly introduced stablecoin, for minting and redemption processes on XRPL.
RLUSD Integration Simplifies On-Chain Access to OUSG Treasuries
The integration enables users to on-ramp and off-ramp Ondo’s OUSG directly using RLUSD, streamlining access to yield-bearing government securities in a fully on-chain manner.
OUSG is backed by short-duration U.S. Treasuries and offers exposure to traditional financial instruments with blockchain-native settlement. By leveraging XRPL’s speed and low fees, this move significantly reduces the friction involved in real-world asset tokenization.
Ripple’s RLUSD—recently launched and pegged 1:1 to the U.S. dollar—is central to the transaction flow, acting as the medium of exchange for OUSG transactions.
This collaboration signals a growing trend of blockchain protocols moving beyond cryptocurrencies to support tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) like bonds and securities.

Ripple-Ondo Tie-Up Signals Shift Toward On-Chain Regulated Finance
The partnership between Ripple and Ondo reflects the broader industry shift toward integrating traditional finance with decentralized platforms, offering global users faster, cheaper, and more transparent access to regulated investment products.
It’s also a strong validation of XRPL’s evolving role in enterprise-grade DeFi. The launch of Ondo Finance’s OUSG marks a pivotal step in the evolution of tokenized finance.
More than just a product, it serves as a blueprint for how real-world assets (RWAs) can be seamlessly integrated into blockchain ecosystems.
U.S. Treasuries have emerged as a leading asset class in this space, with tokenized treasuries surpassing $7 billion in total value locked (TVL).
This rapid growth is driven by strong demand for secure, yield-generating instruments like OUSG. These tokenized assets offer the benefits of traditional government bonds—stability and trust—while adding on-chain advantages such as programmability, instant settlement, and composability with DeFi protocols.
OUSG’s success signals a broader shift toward capital-efficient, blockchain-native access to regulated financial products.
OUSG Launch on XRPL Follows Ripple’s Strategic Deal with Guggenheim
The launch of Ondo Finance’s OUSG on XRPL comes shortly after Ripple’s strategic alliance with Guggenheim, a prominent U.S. investment manager.
Guggenheim plans to introduce a U.S. Treasury-backed asset through its new venture, Guggenheim Treasury Services, directly on the XRP Ledger.
This dual momentum—Ondo’s live integration and Guggenheim’s upcoming launch—positions XRPL as a frontrunner in the tokenization of real-world assets.
It highlights growing institutional trust in XRPL’s infrastructure for bringing traditional financial products on-chain.
Together, these developments reinforce XRPL’s expanding role in the future of programmable finance, bridging conventional capital markets with decentralized ecosystems through secure, scalable, and efficient tokenized solutions.
