Ripple has revealed a major data point: by 2025, XRP sales will exceed $8 billion. At first glance, this number is indeed shocking, but don't rush to dismiss it. These XRP sales are not sudden dumps, but carefully planned strategic moves. Ripple supports daily operations and expands its partner ecosystem through orderly XRP sales—essentially to finance the project's long-term development. From another perspective, large-scale sales actually indicate Ripple's confidence in its own project and its willingness to take concrete actions to promote ecosystem building. Such operations are not uncommon in the cryptocurrency space; the key is whether the sales plan is transparent and whether it meets market expectations.

The XRP Ledger is positioning itself as a hub for real-world asset tokenization. Community participants are increasingly confident that tokenized gold and silver assets will soon launch on the XRPL, with seasoned observers like Phil Kwok from EasyA publicly backing this direction. Network validators, including Vet, have emphasized that the technical infrastructure is already robust enough to support this kind of use case—it's more a matter of timing and adoption. The appeal is straightforward: combining XRPL's speed and low costs with the stability of precious metal backing could create compelling on-chain assets for traders and institutions alike. As the broader market explores ways to bridge physical commodities with blockchain infrastructure, the Ledger's growing capability to handle tokenized assets makes it a natural candidate for this evolution.
