XRP’s Tokenized RWA Surge Is Outpacing Ethereum and Redrawing the Crypto Map According to crypto research firm Evernorth, XRP is emerging as one of the fastest-growing ecosystems for tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), with momentum now outpacing several leading ecosystems, including Ethereum. So far in 2026, RWAs on the XRP Ledger have risen from about $227 million to over $404 million, a 78% year-to-date increase.

XRP moved from $10 million to $400 million in tokenized assets in just 15 months, compared to Ethereum’s 36 months to reach the same threshold.

David Schwartz, Ripple’s former chief technology officer, has renewed debate over how staking rewards should be taxed if XRP Ledger ever adopted a native staking model. Summary David Schwartz says staking rewards minted by a protocol should not be taxed before sale. His comments revive tax questions around XRP staking even though XRPL lacks native staking. The IRS currently taxes proof-of-stake rewards when taxpayers gain dominion and control over them directly. His comments came during a discussion with crypto tax expert Clinton Donnelly about whether staking rewards should face tax before a holder sells them. David Schwartz separates minted rewards from transferred rewards David Schwartz said the tax treatment should depend on how a staking system creates and delivers rewards. In his view, rewards that already exist and are transferred to a user can be treated as taxable income
