Epic Chain, receiving notable support from Ripple, is embarking on an innovative journey into the financial landscape with its cutting-edge platform designed for real-world asset (RWA) tokenization using XRP. This strategic move is set to facilitate the transition of substantial real-world assets onto the blockchain, potentially reshaping how we view asset ownership and transactions.
Ripple Endorses Groundbreaking Real-World Asset Initiative
In an official statement, Epic Chain is positioning itself at the forefront of the real-world asset tokenization movement, developing a robust platform to incorporate various assets like real estate, credit instruments, commodities, and collectibles on the blockchain. With the RWA market projected to exceed $50 trillion, Epic Chain’s initiative could redefine industry standards and practices.

Currently valued at approximately $60 million in fully diluted terms, Epic Chain is actively traded on prominent exchanges including Binance, Bybit, and Kucoin, with additional listings expected. The initiative operates across more than 150 countries, targeting a vast network of over 100 million traders and maintaining connections with over one million bank accounts. To stimulate global reach, Epic has launched a substantial $1 million adoption and liquidity program.
Initially introduced as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum, Epic is transitioning to an EVM-compatible sidechain of the XRPL. This change enhances native liquidity and improves integration with XRP’s infrastructure, substantially increasing settlement speed and scalability, while aligning with Ripple’s vision for enterprise-grade blockchain solutions.
Distinguished as one of the few small-cap tokens to endure numerous crypto market fluctuations, EPIC has transformed from a collectibles marketplace into a dynamic layer-2 solution for RWAs. Its integration with Ripple USD (RLUSD) allows for seamless USD settlements—a vital feature for catering to institutional fiscal needs, treasury management, and international exchanges.
The innovative Epic Chain furthers adoption through its “Epic One” VISA crypto card, which rewards users with up to 8% XRP cashback and is operable in over 180 countries without daily spending caps. Simultaneously, its collectibles platform, Fanable, continues to captivate thousands of users through strategic licensing deals.
By straddling the realms of RWA tokenization and XRP, Epic Chain shows substantial promise despite potential risks tied to its history of shifts and XRP’s more measured adoption pace. Serving as a viable gateway into the XRP economy for both retail and institutional users could prove revolutionary.
XRP Ledger As a Foundation for Cutting-Edge Real Estate Finance
In this compelling shift, the XRP Ledger is poised to facilitate the tokenization of an astonishing $228 trillion in institutional real estate through the XRP Ledger Asset Program. This occurs on August 18th, allowing traditionally off-chain managed assets to transition seamlessly onto the blockchain via the REAL Token, marking a significant evolution in the global real estate landscape toward blockchain-driven solutions.
