> The network attracted about $2.2 billion in net inflows this year, while monthly real-world asset transfers reached $7.03 billion by Oct. 5.

XRP Ledger recorded roughly $2.2 billion in net inflows to tokenized commodities since the start of 2026, surpassing Ethereum’s approximately $1.6 billion and widening the gap with other networks.

Avalanche ranked third with about $334.5 million in net inflows, while BNB Chain placed fourth at $57.5 million. The figures measure capital entering tokenized commodity markets on each network, rather than the total value of every tokenized asset.

Tokenization represents real-world assets such as commodities, securities, funds and real estate as digital tokens recorded on a blockchain. The structure can support faster settlement, continuous trading and smaller ownership units, although the reported commodity inflows do not establish that XRP Ledger leads Ethereum across the entire tokenized-asset market.

The XRP Ledger’s design includes asset issuance in its core protocol. Its transactions typically cost less than one cent and can settle in roughly three to five seconds, while Ethereum relies on smart contracts and variable gas fees to issue and manage tokenized assets.

Electricity-related assets were a major source of XRP Ledger activity. Justoken, a Latin American company, launched JMWH, a tokenized contract tied to electricity generation, contributing to the network’s commodity liquidity.

As of Oct. 5, the network’s monthly real-world asset transfer volume had climbed more than 224-fold to $7.03 billion. The value of represented assets increased 56% in 30 days to $4.52 billion.

XRP Ledger’s stablecoin market capitalization reached $1.25 billion, while monthly stablecoin transaction volume rose to approximately $5.01 billion. RLUSD, issued on the XRP Ledger, Ethereum and other blockchains, contributed to the expansion.

Institutional participation also extends beyond commodities. Franklin Templeton accounted for $48.3 million in the ecosystem, while Ondo Finance represented another $187.5 million. DAMAC has used the network to tokenize ownership interests connected to Dubai real estate projects, including Park Ridge Tower, Prive and J One.

Ethereum continues to lead the broader real-world asset market by total asset value, supported largely by tokenized U.S. government bonds. XRP Ledger’s stronger position in the reported commodity-inflow figures reflects growing activity in physical assets and commodity-linked products.
