  3. Aviva Investors Launches Tokenized Sterling Fund on XRP Ledger — this brief

Aviva Investors has launched a tokenized share class of its £22 billion Sterling Liquidity Fund on the XRP Ledger, as reported by Blockonomi and Crypto.news. This move represents a significant expansion of the firm's tokenization efforts, following the launch of a USD Liquidity Fund on the same platform in July 2026.

The tokenized share class of the Sterling Liquidity Fund holds over £86 million in assets, with £50 million contributed by Aviva itself. This demonstrates the firm's commitment to exploring the potential of blockchain technology in traditional finance.

The launch is notable for bringing a large traditional fund into the tokenization space, as highlighted by Crypto.news. The digital twin model used by Aviva maintains the off-chain structure of the fund while allowing for tokenized shares, as detailed by Blockonomi.

This development comes as the total crypto market cap stands at $2.76 trillion, with the overall market remaining relatively flat. Bitcoin is down 0.27% in the last 24 hours, while XRP, the native token of the XRP Ledger, is trading at $1.29, down 0.47% in the same period.

The Fear & Greed Index currently sits at 50, indicating a neutral market sentiment. The success of Aviva's tokenized funds could influence other institutional players to explore similar strategies, potentially driving further adoption of blockchain technology in traditional finance.
