Ethereum news: The XRP Ledger (XRPL) has outpaced Ethereum in tokenized commodities growth, with $2.2 billion in net inflows year-to-date compared to Ethereum’s $1.6 billion. Avalanche and BNB Chain followed with $334.5 million and $57.5 million, respectively. XRPL’s protocol-level tokenization of real-world assets reduces costs and settlement times, while Ethereum ecosystem developments underscore the reliance on complex smart contracts and higher fees. Energy assets, including Justoken’s JMWH tokenized power contract, have driven much of XRPL’s growth.

XRP Ledger’s tokenized commodities growth surpasses Ethereum, with $2.2 billion net inflow this year. According to U.Today on October 7, joint data from Token Terminal and the RWA Foundation for October 2026 shows that XRP Ledger (XRPL) has outpaced Ethereum in market value growth for tokenized commodities: since the beginning of the year, XRPL has seen $2.2 billion in net inflows, compared to Ethereum’s $1.6 billion, placing it second; Avalanche ranks third with $334.5 million, and BNB Chain follows with $57.5 million. The difference stems from architecture: Ethereum requires complex smart contract deployment and unpredictable gas fees to issue assets, while XRPL enables real-world asset tokenization at the protocol level, with its built-in IOU mechanism reducing costs to less than a penny and settlement times to just 3–5 seconds. The primary driver is the energy sector, with Justoken, a Latin American company, contributing the largest liquidity through its tokenized power generation contract, JMWH.
