XRP Ledger Flips Ethereum to Become New King of Tokenized Commodities as XRP’s Utility Story Heats Up
XRP Ledger moved ahead of Ethereum in tokenized commodity growth in 2026. By Oct. 5, monthly real-world asset transfers on the network had reached $7.03 billion, and the network had taken in about $2.2 billion in net inflows this year.
What this rests on
What it means
Each sentence links inside to the piece that supports it.
Users and market watchers in tokenized commodities would notice that activity had concentrated more on XRP Ledger than on Ethereum in 2026. The change is visible in the reported growth figures and transfer volume, which were both placed on XRP Ledger by early October.
What changes in practice is the ranking of the network in this corner of tokenization: XRP Ledger is now described as leading Ethereum in tokenized commodity growth, while the reported transfer and inflow figures show ongoing activity on the network. What does not change from these figures alone is how each transfer is structured or who is moving the assets.
