Ondo Finance Debuts Tokenized US Treasury Fund On The XRP Ledger: Details

(MENAFN- eTrendy Stock) Ondo Finance, a major player in the real-world assets (RWA) ecosystem, has expanded its tokenized U.S. Treasury token into Ripple's XRP Ledger, a major blockchain network.

The move is set to broaden access to tokenized U.S. Treasuries for institutional investors, according to a recent announcement. The token, Ondo Short-Term U.S. Government Treasuries (OUSG), is backed by BlackRock's USD institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL) and its expansion into the XRP Ledger comes shortly after the launch of Ripple's own stablecoin, RLUSD.

It also comes after Ripple brought OpenEden's TBILL into the ledger last year. TBILL is a tokenized U.S. Treasury fund that, just like OUSG, allows investors to gain exposure to tokenized short-term U.S. government debt backed by the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
