Ripples New RWA Video With Cardano Logo Suggests Alliance May Be Brewing
- Ripples video sparked collaboration rumors with Cardano by prominently displaying the ADA logo.
- Ripple projects tokenized assets could hit $18.9 trillion by 2033, growing at a 53% CAGR.
- Trader Merlijin and analyst George Tung believe a RippleCardano partnership may be imminent.
Ripple has drawn widespread attention across the crypto community after releasing a video that began with the Cardano logo. For followers of both XRP and ADA, this moment raised questions and renewed discussions about a potential collaboration between the two blockchain networks.
Although Ripple and Cardano have hinted at a partnership in the past, nothing official has emerged. That changed with Ripples new short video, which focused on the growing sector of real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. The content centered on how tokenizing physical assets is gaining traction within the financial world, and how this shift could significantly reduce costs and improve transaction speeds.
According to Ripple, tokenization can reduce bond issuance expenses by 60% and cut settlement times from days to just seconds. The company also noted the long-term potential of this trend, estimating that tokenized assets could surpass $18.9 trillion by 2033.
Cardano Logo Ignites Speculation
However, what caught most viewers attention was not just the statistics. It was the inclusion of Cardanos logo at the very beginning of the video. This small but deliberate visual prompted immediate reactions from both XRP and ADA supporters, who interpreted it as a potential signal of a deeper relationship forming between the two platforms.
A well-known trader, Merlijin, directly addressed the video on X, asking, Why is Ripple showing the Cardano $ADA logo in their latest video? Coincidence? Or are they hinting at something big? He further added that, In crypto, nothing is ever random. His remarks reflected a larger sentiment that Ripple may be hinting at an upcoming joint effort.
George Tung, a founder of CryptoRus, echoed these thoughts in a podcast shared by Cardano advocate Angry Crypto. Tung stated that something is brewing and suggested the collaboration might be announced in the coming weeks, possibly in April or May. As of now, however, neither Ripple nor Cardano has officially commented on the speculation.
Ripple Signals Massive Growth in Tokenization
In addition, according to the new report from Ripple and the Boston Consulting Group, the current market for tokenized real-world assets is valued at $0.6 trillion but could grow to $18.9 trillion by 2033, with $9.4 trillion forecasted by 2030. This growth reflects a compound annual rate of 53 percent.
Tokenization is transforming financial assets into programmable, interoperable tools recorded on shared digital ledgers. This enables 24/7 transactions, fractional ownership, and automated compliance, stated Tibor Merey, Managing Director and Partner at BCG.
The report outlines a three-phase roadmap, from early low-risk adoption to broad integration into both financial and non-financial products. Several factors are expected to drive this transformation. Regulatory clarity is already developing in regions such as the European Union, United Arab Emirates, and Switzerland, with the United States anticipated to follow.
In addition, the underlying technology has matured, with strong wallet and custody solutions now available. Strategic investments by banks and acquisitions within fintech are also accelerating adoption.
