YEREVAN (CoinChapter.com) — Ripple has allocated $10 million in tokenized U.S. Treasury bills (T-bills) on the XRP Ledger. Consequently, this marks the first time such tokens are available on this platform. OpenEden is issuing these TBILL tokens. This initiative reflects a broader trend of digitizing real-world assets and financial securities in the crypto industry.

TBILL Tokens on XRP Ledger: Secured by U.S. Treasuries and Repos

The TBILL tokens leverage actual U.S. Treasury securities as backing. Specifically, they are supported by short-dated U.S. Treasuries and reverse repurchase agreements (repos). In repos, parties sell securities with a commitment to repurchase them at a higher price later. Therefore, this arrangement maintains the assets’ value.

The XRP Ledger, an open-source blockchain, facilitates these transactions using the cryptocurrency XRP. Notably, this platform is selected for its capacity to manage efficient and global financial transfers.

The Rise of Tokenized Real-World Assets in Crypto

Tokenizing real-world assets like U.S. Treasury bills has emerged as a trend in the crypto space. Consequently, this process enables the management and trading of traditional assets on blockchain platforms. As a result, this digital approach creates new opportunities for investors and institutions.
