Messari Research has released a major report highlighting XRP’s impressive growth and institutional adoption. The study revealed that XRP closed Q3 at $2.85, reflecting a 27.2% quarterly rise and pushing its market cap to $170.3 billion—surpassing combined growth rates of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. Messari noted that the XRP Ledger (XRPL) is rapidly becoming a preferred network for tokenized real-world assets (RWA) and regulated DeFi.
The report showed that RWA market cap surged 215%, reaching $364.2 million, fueled by tokenization of U.S. Treasury bills, real estate, and digital commercial paper. Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin also rose 34.7%, attaining an $88.8 million market cap, making it the largest stablecoin on XRPL. These results underscore XRP’s growing strength in real-world finance and its alignment with global compliance standards.
Messari highlighted new features like decentralized identity systems, multipurpose tokens, and zero-knowledge proof technology that enable secure, private, and compliant transactions. With rising daily transactions and expanding wallet addresses, XRPL continues to evolve from a payments asset into a compliance-ready blockchain ecosystem. Experts believe this growth positions XRP as a key player in the future of institutional DeFi and tokenized finance.
