- Chinese fintech giant Linklogis has partnered with XRP Ledger to move its global digital supply chain finance platform onto blockchain infrastructure.
- The collaboration will tokenise trade receivables and real-world commerce assets directly on XRPL’s mainnet for faster cross-border settlements.
- Both parties plan to expand into stablecoin settlements, smart contracts for tokenised assets, and integrate artificial intelligence with blockchain technology.
- This partnership aligns with Linklogis’ broader digital finance strategy, building on its previous involvement in Singapore’s Green Link Digital Bank and various tokenisation projects.
Chinese fintech giant Linklogis (9959.HK) has teamed up with the XRP Ledger (XRPL) to take its global digital supply chain finance platform on-chain.
The move – reported in the Financial Times – will see trade receivables and other assets tied to real-world commerce tokenised directly on XRPL’s mainnet, paving the way for faster, more transparent cross-border settlement.
For Linklogis, it marks a major step into decentralised finance while strengthening its position as a pioneer in digital trade finance.
The company isn’t new to scaling globally. Under its “Go Early, Go Deep” strategy, it has already rolled out cross-border services across 27 countries, processing more than RMB 20.7 billion (4.47 billion AUD) in assets last year alone.
By shifting its platform onto XRPL, Linklogis is betting that blockchain infrastructure can take this reach even further.

Beyond Trade Finance: Stablecoins, AI and RWAs
This tie-up goes beyond a simple deployment. Both Linklogis and XRPL developers are looking to expand into stablecoin settlements, smart-contract powered trading of tokenised supply chain assets, and the fusion of blockchain with artificial intelligence.
The ambition is to push XRPL deeper into the enterprise real-world asset (RWA) space, a sector already seeing strong momentum across crypto.
Over the years, Ripple and other backers have helped build out the ecosystem, with growing adoption in financial services worldwide.
A Wider Digital Finance Push
The partnership fits neatly into Linklogis’ wider digital finance push. The company has been at the heart of several key initiatives, from co-founding Singapore’s Green Link Digital Bank in 2020 to joining BIS, Standard Chartered and others in Project Dynamo and Project Guardian – early experiments in asset tokenisation and digital money.
More recently, it became a founding shareholder in SuperFi Labs, a DeFi incubator exploring consumer on-chain products and tokenised assets.
XRP – the native token of the XRPL – did not immediately respond to the news, at the time of reporting the coin trades for US$2.99 (AU$4.59). This is a 0.5% drop over the past 24 hours, much in line with the broader crypto market, which is trending down.
