Ondo’s expansion of OUSG on XRPL follows Ripple’s RWA move that brought OpenEden’s TBILL to the network in August 2024.
“This integration is the natural convergence of a compliance-first, yield-bearing product with a network purpose-built for institutional adoption, setting the groundwork for forward-thinking institutions to lead a new era of capital markets onchain,” Ondo Finance vice president of partnerships Katie Wheeler noted.
A $3.5 billion market
Ripple and Ondo Finance’s collaboration adds further traction to the RWA and specifically, tokenized US Treasuries market. The sector has witnessed tremendous growth in the past year, with the market now at $3.5 billion.
Ondo Finance’s OUSG currently has a market cap of over $185 million.
Meanwhile, the platform’s other US Treasuries offering, the U.S. Dollar Yield has over $384 million in total value locked. Per rwa.xyz, BlackRock’s BUIDL and Franklin Templeton’s FOBXX are the top two with over $600 million and $509 million respectively.
OpenEden’s TBILL, available on XRPL, has a market cap of just over $82 million.
