Overview
- Ripple announced on Monday that it invested in U.K. firms ZILO and Licuido to expand regulated capital‑markets infrastructure on the XRP Ledger.
- ZILO will supply transfer agency and fund administration tools to record ownership and manage tokenized share classes, while Licuido will handle issuance, distribution, trading and collateral mobility through its FCA‑linked structure.
- Ripple said RLUSD will serve as the regulated cash leg to enable delivery‑versus‑payment settlement on XRPL and that tokenized fund units could be used as collateral from issuance.
- XRPL developers urged node operators to install the xrpld 3.2.1 hotfix after a July 31 validator manifest flood to limit oversized or unknown manifests, and developers reported ledgers continued closing during the event.
- Key commercial details remain undisclosed — no investment amounts, equity stakes, launch dates, named clients or scaled volumes have been published — so proof of broader adoption is unverified and future disclosures of deployments and RLUSD settlement volumes will be the clearest adoption signals.
