Ripple and Billiton Diamond Tokenize $280M in Diamonds on XRP Ledger

Ripple has made a significant move in the world of blockchain, partnering with Billiton Diamond to tokenize over $280 million in certified diamonds on the XRP Ledger.

This partnership is a major milestone in the industry, as it brings high-value physical inventory onto the blockchain for the first time. The tokenization process ties each physical stone to a verified digital asset, making it tradable and increasing liquidity for investors.

The UAE's DMCC and VARA structures provide regulatory alignment for this large-scale tokenization, positioning the region as a global leader in real-world asset tokenization.
