XRP Ripple Ledger is now introducing gold through a stablecoin-like utility, making it easier for people to own digital gold. Meaning, anyone can now easily own digital gold.
In recent technical analysis, XRP observer Chart Nerd said that something big is coming for the price of XRP. So far, Ripple coin market performance in 2026 has been a bit quiet, as the overall market is in a bit of a wait-and-see mode, especially given geopolitical uncertainty.

Gold As Yield-Bearing Alternative To USD?
The big thing that Chart Nerd was referring to is likely related to Real World Assets, specifically gold. Gold is up 69.55% from the same time last year, making it one of the most talked-about RWAs now and the plan is in place by 2024.
Furthermore, MeldGold CEO Michael Cotton explained that digitizing assets and bringing them on-chain offers some benefits, such as simplifying the authentication process. Simply put, assets that would normally be difficult to sell can now be easily sold on-chain, opening up the entire market to everyone.
CEO also explained how gold could be used to borrow, lend, and generate yield in decentralized smart contracts. This requires aligning the digital version with real gold to create trust. Chart Nerd said: Some people aren’t ready. It’s already happening, and it’s happening on XRPL.
Ultimate Trust Issue That RippleNet Solves
XRP Ripple Ledger design requires less trust, allowing the RWA market to function smoothly. Legacy banking systems haven’t seen much innovation in trust over the past 20 years, but the XRP chain’s trustless capabilities make it easier to exchange digital gold.
This is also written in RippleNet documents, which crypto researcher SMQKE reviewed. The official docs clearly state that “RippleNet is not limited to fiat currency,” and that gold, silver, securities, and airline miles can also be used for payments.
The ability to bridge currencies and real-world assets could make Ripple’s XRP Ledger even more useful for cross-border payments, institutional demand, and retail payments. Together, these generate a trading volume of over $5 billion daily.
