A significant development on the XRP Ledger could potentially change the narrative for XRP investors. Australian firm Meld Gold is set to launch two new stablecoins, bringing fungible gold and silver assets to the XRP ledger in Q3 2024.

Ripple’s president announced that the firm is actively exploring various opportunities for tokenization on XRPL. This integration of precious metals with blockchain technology could provide a bullish catalyst for XRP, even as technical indicators suggest a weakening bearish trend.
