Aviva puts a tokenized share class on the XRP Ledger

Aviva Investors launched a tokenized share class of its $29 billion Sterling Liquidity Fund on the XRP Ledger, marking a significant institutional move in real-world asset tokenization. This episode contrasts such "boring plumbing" advancements with the growing friction in tokenized equities, highlighted by 22 public companies objecting to their shares being traded on proposed tokenized venues. Host Ceres Quinn dissects these developments, questioning whether the Aviva news represents a market shift or merely a registry upgrade, and if the objections signal a speed bump or a verdict for tokenized stocks. Key Highlights: • Aviva Investors launched a tokenized share class of its $29 billion Sterling Liquidity Fund on the XRP Ledger. • Franklin Templeton added $150 million in fund shares to the XRP Ledger, though all landed in a single issuer-controlled wallet. • Twenty-two public companies, including Wells Fargo and Cisco, have now objected to their shares being traded on planned tokenized venues. • The BLOOM initiative expanded its cross-border stablecoin and tokenized deposit settlement efforts to include Malaysia and Thailand.
