Crypto analyst Levi Rietveld has claimed that a $400 trillion XRP revolution is underway, powered by Ripple’s Growing Efforts in Tokenization of Real-World Assets (RWA).. With major partnerships reportedly emerging between Ripple and some of the biggest players in the financial industry, XRP’s role in bringing traditional assets onto the blockchain is receiving significant attention across the industry.
XRP is set to lead the $400 trillion tokenization wave
According to Rietveld, XRP is not just a digital asset, but a cornerstone of a financial revolution worth more than $400 trillion. In a recent social media post, X says the analyst explained that XRP enters a market defined by RWA tokenization –an emerging industry that could reshape the way global value is exchanged, sold and authenticated.

Rietveld emphasized that some of the most influential institutions in the world are now tune in Ripple to pursue this tokenization vision. He mentioned that BlackRock, VanEck and Securitize has reportedly joined forces with Ripple to develop frameworks for RWA tokenization, which redefine asset management and exchange.
Unlike Bitcoin, which lacks the Layer 2 flexibility and throughput needed for RWA settlements, Rietveld explains the XRP ledger (XRPL) has the scalability and speed needed for global financial operations. He said XRPL can execute 40,000 transactions per second – a level of performance that makes it ideal for handling the massive volume of tokenized asset transactions that are expected to dominate the future of finance.
XRPL’s architecture also enables instant settlement and interoperability, qualities that are essential for financial entities managing trillions in global assets. If the tokenization trend continues on its current trajectory, Rietveld suggests the market could eventually reach a valuation of $400 trillion. Moreover, XRP could play a crucial role bridging the gap between traditional markets and blockchain infrastructure. Furthermore, cryptocurrency’s usefulness could evolve from a means of payment to a core component of the global financial infrastructure.
SWIFT’s ISO 20022 shift is driving a new XRP revolution
Another major development that could shape the future of XRP comes from global payment network SWIFT. According to the team behind BeLaunch, a leading decentralized launch platform, SWIFT will to retire its old MT messaging system and Completely adopt ISO 20022 on November 22, 2025. This change will improve the way banks and financial institutions communicate, enabling better data sharing, stronger security and faster automation of global transactions.

The XRP Ledger is already ISO 20022 compliantgiving it a potential advantage in future banking integrations. This compatibility means that XRP can be easily integrated into systems aligned with the new global messaging framework. However, as BeLaunch noted, readiness does not equal adoption. XRP still needs to navigate regulatory challengesliquidity and competition from stablecoins and private blockchain networks.
Still, the ISO 20022 transition represents an important step toward global financial interoperability – the very principle on which Ripple has built its ecosystem.
