Hedera and Ripple have emerged as leading beneficiaries in the move toward real-world asset tokenization and regulator-friendly DeFi, signaling a potential reshaping of digital finance infrastructure. The two projects are viewed as structurally advantaged due to their focus on real assets and compliance-centric models.
On Hedera, Levi argues Hedera leads RWA development, supported by strong developer concentration and ecosystem capabilities. Santiment ranks Hedera among the top RWA projects, ahead of LINK and MATIC. Levi says developers flocking to Hedera proves it leads in this space, according to data. Hedera offers fast finality and predictable fee structures, making it enterprise-friendly and attractive to large firms like BlackRock and Google.
Ripple’s EU EMI license enables passporting across 27 member states, allowing XRP to issue electronic money and provide payment services. The license enables Ripple to operate across the bloc through a single regulatory gateway, reaching a market of roughly 450 million people. Ripple has also integrated with Hyperliquid to support on-chain derivatives trading and cross-chain liquidity, aiming to enable institutional-grade liquidity across all asset classes. HBAR and XRP are seen as at the crossroads of regulatory acceptance, institutional adoption, and an asset-backed ecosystem, with long-term growth prospects remaining strong as DeFi lending and tokenized mortgages scale.
