A viral X post by crypto researcher Chain Mind has reignited one of the most compelling theories in digital finance: that Ripple and BlackRock, two giants from different corners of the financial world, are quietly converging to build a unified system for tokenized assets and digital identity.
While it’s not accurate to claim they are “one company,” a series of verifiable developments does suggest deep strategic alignment.
The OUSG Connection: Ripple’s Rails, BlackRock’s Liquidity
A critical piece of this theory is Ondo Finance’s launch of tokenized U.S. Treasuries (OUSG) on the XRP Ledger in June 2025. These tokens are backed in part by BlackRock’s money market funds, and their minting and redemption are facilitated using Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin.
Ripple supplies the blockchain infrastructure, while BlackRock indirectly supplies the capital. This partnership is confirmed by Ondo’s announcements, and it marks a major leap in bringing traditional finance on-chain.

Legal Clarity and the “Test” Theory
Ripple’s long battle with the SEC secured a partial legal win in 2023, establishing that XRP is not a security when sold on secondary markets. Chain Mind suggests this wasn’t just a legal victory, but a rite of passage.
Ripple emerged with clarity that most crypto firms still lack, allowing it to move forward as a regulated rail for institutional capital. Critics note, however, that this interpretation stretches the available evidence, especially since the SEC’s initial lawsuit was filed under a different chair.
Shared Backgrounds: Wall Street in the Mix
Key figures in the Ripple–BlackRock web have ties to Goldman Sachs, including Nathan Allman, co-founder of Ondo Finance. Even SEC Chair Gary Gensler is a former Goldman executive.
This pattern of shared Wall Street lineage among Ripple’s partners, regulators, and financiers has fueled speculation of a closed ecosystem. Still, while the overlap is real, direct coordination remains unproven.

XDNA: The Identity Layer Emerges
Perhaps the most intriguing element is the emergence of a new token, XDNA, which launched on the XRP Ledger on July 4, 2025, the same day as BlackRock’s XDNA ETF, focused on genomics and health data.
The on-chain XDNA token is designed for sovereign DNA identity and encrypted medical records, aligning closely with Ripple’s broader digital identity ambitions. Whether this is a planned convergence or an uncanny coincidence is unclear, but the timing is suspiciously exact.
The Infrastructure for a Post-Reset World?
Ripple has been building a decentralized identity framework into the XRP Ledger, supporting DIDs, credentials, and sovereign data layers. Simultaneously, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink has publicly championed the tokenization of over $100 trillion in assets, a transformation that would require robust identity verification systems.
This shared vision suggests a complementary roadmap. Ripple builds the rails; BlackRock brings the capital.
Alignment, Not Merger
There is no concrete evidence that Ripple and BlackRock are a single entity or operating under a secret merger. But when you lay out the facts, Ripple’s tokenization roadmap, BlackRock’s fund backing XRPL assets, personnel overlap, and synchronized identity initiatives, the synergy is undeniable.
Whether by design or convergence of purpose, Ripple and BlackRock may already be building the rails and liquidity for a new financial order.
