Story HighlightsXRPL's tokenized RWA value reportedly reached approximately $5 billion, with a tenfold expansion target pointing toward $50 billion.
RLUSD's planned Coinbase expansion covers XRP, Ethereum, and Base, broadening access for retail and institutional markets.
XRP futures volume reached a seven-month high, but increased trading activity doesn't automatically signal a price rally.
XRP has more than one catalyst to watch, and the latest developments are giving bulls plenty to discuss. Tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) reportedly stand near $5 billion, Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin is expanding to Coinbase, and XRP futures trading volume has reached a seven-month high. Still, none of that guarantees the price will cooperate.
XRPL Tokenization Targets $50 Billion in Assets
XRPL co-creator David Schwartz reportedly expects tokenized RWAs on the network to grow tenfold over the next year, potentially reaching $50 billion. That’s an ambitious target after the market expanded from roughly $180 million to $5 billion over the past 12 months.
The pipeline includes institutional developments. Aviva Investors launched a tokenized share class of its approximately £22 billion Sterling Liquidity Fund on XRPL, while Robinhood plans to use RLUSD for institutional settlement.
Meanwhile, Ripple announced that RLUSD is coming to Coinbase, expanding access for retail and institutional markets across XRP, Ethereum, and Base. These developments strengthen the network’s tokenization narrative, although adoption figures alone don’t establish where XRP’s price will go next.
XRP Price Prediction Depends on Critical Support
XRP’s long-term chart remains a major talking point. The token has traded within a broad ascending channel since reaching approximately $0.15 in 2020. After climbing to around $3.50, it suffered a deep correction toward $1.00 before recovering to approximately $1.33.
The channel’s lower boundary hasn’t been touched, leaving its long-term structure relevant to traders. If support holds, potential resistance levels sit at $1.50 and $2.00, with $3.50 representing a previous peak.
An extended projection points toward $5 around 2027. But let’s be clear: that’s a technical possibility, not a guaranteed destination. Reclaiming resistance and maintaining the broader channel matter more than drawing an attractive price target.
Seven-Month Futures Volume Raises Questions
XRP derivatives activity is picking up. Reported October futures volume across major platforms reached its highest level in seven months, suggesting increased participation in the market.
Binance recorded $34.57 billion in XRP futures volume, followed by Bybit at $13.58 billion and OKX at $12.25 billion. Together, those figures total approximately $60.4 billion.
