When Treasuries Go On-Chain, What Settles the Trade?

If treasuries, money-market funds, and real-world assets all go on-chain, what actually settles the movement of value between them? In this finale, we zoom out to the full tokenized landscape — tokenized treasuries, RWA issuance, institutional stablecoins, bank-issued tokens, and on-chain settlement rails — and look at where XRP and the XRP Ledger could realistically fit. We’ll map how Ripple’s institutional stack, RLUSD, ETF ecosystems, and XRPL’s evolving standards converge into a potential settlement layer for institutional finance.
