  2. Aviva Partners with Ripple to Tokenize $29B Fund Using XRP Ledger

Aviva Investors has launched a tokenized share class of its £22 billion Sterling Liquidity Fund on the XRP Ledger, marking a significant step in the tokenization of traditional financial assets. This move follows the launch of a similar USD Liquidity Fund in July 2026, indicating a strategic push towards blockchain integration.

The tokenized share classes of the Sterling Liquidity Fund hold over £86 million in assets, including a £50 million investment from Aviva itself. This demonstrates the company's commitment to exploring the benefits of blockchain technology in fund management.

While both Blockonomi and Crypto.news report on the launch, they differ slightly in their emphasis. Blockonomi highlights the digital twin model that maintains the off-chain fund structure, while Crypto.news notes that only a small portion of the fund's total assets is represented by tokens.

The XRP Ledger's role in this development underscores its growing importance in the tokenization space. The platform's efficiency and speed make it an attractive choice for traditional financial institutions looking to tokenize assets.
