  3. Aviva Investors Tokenizes £22B Sterling Fund on XRP Ledger with Ripple — this brief

Aviva Investors, a prominent asset management firm, has launched a tokenized share class of its £22 billion Sterling Liquidity Fund on the XRP Ledger. This move, supported by Ripple as the technology partner, marks the firm's second tokenized fund, following the launch of a USD Liquidity Fund in July 2026.

The tokenization of the Sterling Liquidity Fund is part of a broader collaboration to bring more traditional funds onto the blockchain. According to multiple outlets, the fund's tokenized share class holds over £86 million in assets, including a £50 million investment from Aviva itself. This demonstrates a significant commitment to the tokenization of traditional financial instruments.

While the total assets of the fund amount to £22 billion, only a small portion of it has been tokenized so far. U.Today reports that only 0.4% of the fund's assets have moved on-chain, indicating a cautious approach to the integration of blockchain technology in large-scale financial operations.

The XRP Ledger, known for its low transaction costs and fast settlement times, provides an ideal platform for the tokenization of traditional assets. This development is part of a growing trend of asset managers exploring blockchain technology to increase efficiency and liquidity in their operations.

In the current market context, the total cryptocurrency market cap stands at $2.75 trillion, with Bitcoin experiencing a slight 24-hour decline of 0.21%. The Fear & Greed Index remains at 50, indicating a neutral market sentiment. XRP, the native token of the XRP Ledger, is currently priced at $1.29, with a 24-hour change of -0.23% and a 7-day change of -0.80%, maintaining a market cap of $81.94 billion.
