XRP Meets Sterling: £479 Billion Giant Rolls Out New Fund

A traditional large corporate fund is landing on Ripple’s XRP Ledger thanks to Aviva’s new Sterling Liquidity Fund, amassing roughly £22 billion in Assets Under Management (AUM). According to the latest data readings, Aviva Investors have £479 billion in cumulative assets under management.

That's a high level of industrial appreciation even for the XRP parenting Ripple Labs, a company that’s processing trillions in cross-border payments yearly. The British insurance behemoth Aviva was founded back in 2000. This marks the second tokenisation of an existing Aviva fund,  following a tokenised share class bid for the firm’s USD Liquidity Fund back in July 2026.

Aviva Investors manages £273 billion out of the £479 billion pie, enabling traditional investors to access blockchain-based capabilities, targeting low-risk returns along with solid daily liquidity by offering investors exposure to high-grade UK Sterling-denominated short-term debt instruments. This new share class launch is supported by two parties, a custodian and infrastructure provider.

For that matter, Komainu & Licuido are the partners named in the official press release, calling the choice of Ripple’s XRP Ledger an “energy-efficient format” due to XRP Ledger’s cheap transaction cost, fast processing windows & a seamless way to issue & regularly manage the minted tokens. All assets held by the fund’s legal custodian, The Bank of New York Mellon.

Since 2012, XRP’s native chain has processed more than 4 billion transactions, netted nearly 8 million active wallets while being maintained by around 130 independent validators, including universities, healthcare institutions & big-time corporations. In the present days, XRP garners roughly $3 billion in daily trading volume.

An addition of such a magnitude partner like Aviva Investors gives XRP’s native chain a great reason to lift the trading volumes back to $5-6 billion a day, like it was during the late 2025 bull rally. With XRP’s price currently retesting the lower boundary of the $1.28 to $1.35 key demand bubble, trading volume is what bulls rely on.
