The XRP news this week centers on a milestone that reshaped the entire tokenization conversation. The XRP Ledger crossed $3 billion in tokenized real world assets at the end of April, jumping 59% in just 30 days according to RWA.xyz data, and XRPL now ranks fifth globally in total tokenized value.
XRPL Ecosystem: 291 Projects Live, Exec Says Actual Figure $3.75B
The 247 Wall St. report on May 3 confirmed 291 separate RWA projects live on XRPL, with Ripple executive Luke Judges putting the real figure at $3.75 billion. Justoken's JMWH energy token leads at $1.76 billion, Ondo Finance holds $323 million in tokenized Treasuries, and Archax committed $1 billion more by mid 2026. The infrastructure works at institutional scale, but tokenization fees cost fractions of a cent — volume builds trust, not price pressure.
Pepeto Presale Reaches $9.89M: Zero-Fee Exchange and AI Scanner Live
While XRP builds its tokenization case, Pepeto has crossed $9.89 million in presale capital at $0.0000001868 per token. The project already runs a live zero-fee swap engine across Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Solana. The PepetoAI token scanner grades every contract before trades. SolidProof completed the full audit, a former Binance team member sits on the development side, and the original Pepe token creator co-founded this project.
Early wallets lock staking at 175% APY, growing daily while the presale fills. With the approaching Binance listing getting closer, Pepeto is entering the phase where early access ends and exchange pricing takes over.
XRP Price at $1.39: ETF Net Assets $1.38B, 7.8M Holders
XRP trades near $1.39, stuck inside the $1.27–$1.61 range since February. ETF net assets sit at $1.38 billion with $25 million in weekly inflows, and the holder base expanded to 7.8 million addresses. Still, XRP trades 62% below its $3.67 all-time high, and the return depends on the CLARITY Act and broader market recovery.
Solana Price at $84: ETF Inflows Top $1B, 3,000 TPS
Solana trades near $84, 71% below the $294.87 cycle peak from January 2025. ETF inflows crossed $1 billion and the network runs over 3,000 transactions per second. A return to $200 would be 138% — strong for a top-ten name but a fraction of what a presale debut prints on its first candle.
