ORQO launches yield protocol on XRP Ledger, unlocking RLUSD utility

ORQO Group has deployed its tokenized yield platform Soil on the XRP Ledger, marking its first expansion beyond EVM networks and bringing compliant asset-backed returns to RLUSD holders.

The protocol represents the first regulated yield product built natively on XRPL for the stablecoin, which was originally designed for payments and cross-border settlement.

The firm said its inaugural asset pools totaling $1 million were fully subscribed within 72 hours, with additional pools expected in the coming weeks.

Through the platform, returns are sourced from low volatility strategies including private credit, tokenized US Treasuries, and market-neutral hedge funds. The model builds on a three year track record across Ethereum, Polygon, BNB Chain, and Arbitrum, where Soil has delivered risk adjusted yield via tokenized real world assets.

The deployment also expands the utility of RLUSD, positioning the stablecoin as a yield-bearing instrument within XRPL’s ecosystem. Ripple has promoted XRPL as a compliance-ready and scalable network with near instant finality and low transaction costs.

Nick Motz, CEO of ORQO Group and CIO of Soil, said the stablecoin market’s transition toward a multi-trillion-dollar ecosystem requires infrastructure capable of delivering institutional-grade yield at scale. Industry forecasts project the stablecoin market could approach $2 trillion by 2028 amid regulatory clarity and broader adoption.
