Ripple on Wednesday partnered with Aviva Investors to tokenize traditional fund structures on the XRP Ledger, yet XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) is down 1%.

The Aviva Partnership

Aviva Investors, the asset management arm of UK insurer Aviva, will work with Ripple to bring traditional financial assets to the XRP Ledger, according to a press release.

This marks Ripple’s first partnership with a European investment management firm.

The XRP Ledger enables Aviva to issue and manage tokenized funds using fast, secure, low-cost blockchain transactions. 

The network requires no mining to settle transactions, supporting energy efficiency. 

Since 2012, XRPL has processed over 4 billion transactions, supports 7 million active wallets, and operates with 120 independent validators.

Jill Barber, Chief Distribution Officer at Aviva Investors, said tokenization brings improvements in time and cost efficiency. The collaboration will unfold over 2026 and beyond to bring tokenized funds to the XRP Ledger.

Nigel Khakoo, VP of Trading and Markets at Ripple, said tokenization moves from experimentation to large-scale production. Institutions now focus on deploying regulated financial assets at scale, with XRPL providing built-in compliance tools, near-instant settlement, and native liquidity.

XRP Technical Crisis

XRP is just above critical $1.3 support.

The Supertrend at $1.7418 sits well above price in bearish mode. A descending trendline from the $3.6 peak continues capping rallies.

The breakdown was severe.

XRP violated major horizontal support at $1.9-$2, a level that held multiple times.

The sharp drop pushed XRP below $1.4, briefly touching $1.2-$1.3 before a modest bounce.

Current price sits precariously above $1.3. Breaking below exposes the psychological $1 level with limited support structure between. 

The Money Flow Index at 27.75 approaches oversold below 30, showing intense selling pressure and money flowing out.

For recovery, XRP needs to reclaim $1.5-$1.6 first, then work toward the $1.74 Supertrend level.

Breaking back above $1.9-$2 would suggest the worst is over.
