A June 2026 IMF document on tokenization has put XRP directly in the conversation around global financial infrastructure.
The document, titled “The Rise of Tokenization,” was highlighted by crypto expert Digital Asset Investor (@digitalassetbuy), who noted its specific mention of the XRP Ledger alongside other major blockchain networks.

IMF Report Highlights the XRP Ledger
The IMF document states that some banks appear interested in issuing stablecoins on permissionless blockchains, listing Ethereum, Solana, Stellar, and the XRP Ledger. The report also references hybrid governance models, in which regulated financial institutions use permissionless networks while applying permission controls such as whitelisting to manage who can hold and transact tokens.
Digital Asset Investor connected this to a longer history between Ripple and the IMF. The same IMF official, Tobias Adrian, Financial Counselor and Director of the Monetary and Capital Markets Department, appeared on stage with Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse years earlier to discuss stablecoins and digital currency.
Digital Asset Investor noted that Ripple has consistently appeared in rooms alongside major central bankers and international financial institutions, which he described as unusual for a private company.
DTCC Tokenization Launch Includes Ripple
Separate from the IMF development, Digital Asset Investor highlighted that Ripple appeared on the list of key participating firms in a DTCC tokenization initiative that recently went live. Other firms on the list included Anchorage, BitGo, Circle, Fireblocks, and Ondo Finance.
The DTCC’s public learning site also surfaced an AI-generated result that classifies XRP and outlines risk-based haircuts for its use as collateral in clearing. For XRP priced at $5 or below, harsher haircuts apply, while XRP above $5 may face a standard 35% haircut. Digital Asset Investor noted this signals growing institutional readiness for XRP within clearing infrastructure.

Regulatory and Institutional Momentum Builds
On the regulatory side, the Trump administration is expected to meet directly with senators to resolve outstanding issues on the CLARITY Act. Coinbase’s chief policy officer stated that the law needs to catch up to existing policy and create permanence for the industry.
Ripple CLO Stuart Alderoty added that voting against the bill is voting to leave the same unregulated conditions in place for bad actors to exploit. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink separately expressed confidence in markets and bullishness on crypto over the next 12 months, citing increased stability at current levels.
Digital Asset Investor also referenced bullish news from Japan. With the IMF naming the XRP Ledger, Ripple inside the DTCC’s tokenization launch, and Washington pushing toward regulatory clarity, the infrastructure case for XRP is moving from theory to practice at the institutional level.
