Ripple is building repo settlement directly on the XRP Ledger, enabling cash and U.S. Treasury collateral to swap in a single atomic transaction that settles both sides at once. The mechanism is designed to reduce counterparty trust requirements by ensuring there is no payment without collateral and no collateral without payment. U.S. Treasury repo exceeds $8T in daily transaction volume, while distributedledger repo activity is already around $365B–$400B per day. If only 5% of U.S. Treasury repo were to settle through XRPL, annualized settlement turnover would top $100T.
