XDC Expands Footprint With $75M Tokenized Debt Issuance

All news is rigorously fact-checked and reviewed by leading blockchain experts and seasoned industry insiders.

• XDC’s $75M tokenised debt issuance in Brazil positions the network as a leading blockchain in Latin America.
• While XDC’s success may temporarily pressure XRP amid the broader growth of regulated tokenisation 

Brazil’s inaugural blockchain-tracked Agribusiness Receivables Certificate (CRA) has been supported by the XDC Network, marking a key milestone for real-world asset (RWA) tokenisation. The issuance is valued at BRL 400 million (approximately $75.5 million).

As we discussed earlier, the XDC Network, together with SecuX, has partnered to deliver secure, scalable access to the XDC ecosystem. This current issuance, announced via a Reuters press on November 20, underscores XDC’s aggressive push into Latin America’s rapidly expanding digital finance landscape, where regulatory-compliant blockchain solutions are reshaping traditional markets.

In addition, this signals that XDC is becoming a key player in merging traditional finance with on-chain transparency and global investor access. In the context of XDC’s expansion into Latin America, the GFTN Global Digital Assets Report noted:

This expansion underscores how the XDC Network is emerging as a key infrastructure layer for bringing traditional debt markets on-chain, enabling greater transparency, programmability, and global investor access.

Importantly, this funding could also encourage more governments and companies in Latin America to adopt blockchain for regulated financial products. As with crypto, this may also intensify competition among enterprise-focused platforms, including Ripple.

XDC Network Rivals Ripple’s Tokenisation Efforts

As highlighted in our previous analysis, both XDC and XRP stand to benefit as ISO 20022 reshapes global financial data standards. However, this XDC issuance carries slightly bullish implications for XRP in the near term, because both networks compete in similar enterprise and institutional settlement niches.

As more Latin American financial institutions explore ISO 20022-aligned blockchains, demand could rise for cross-border settlement tokens like XRP, especially if Brazil expands blockchain-based financial rails. However, XDC’s early success in Brazil could redirect some institutional interest away from XRP.

In the short term, the effect on XRP may remain muted because XDC’s progress does not directly involve Ripple partnerships. Still, the broader trend toward regulated tokenisation benefits Ripple’s narrative, which could modestly support XRP sentiment as banks seek compliant alternatives for global value transfer.

As of now, XRP is trading at $2.22 USD, up 7.56% in the past day and 3.07% in the past week. Analysts believe this development may create short-term bearish pressure, as investors tend to reward visible real-world adoption.
