Ripple leads UAE tokenization project to move more than AED 1 billion of diamonds on-chain

3 min read

A UAE-based project backed by Ripple’s tokenization partners has moved tokenized polished diamonds worth more than AED 1 billion on the XRP Ledger. 

Auction house Billiton Diamond and UK-based tokenization service provider Ctrl Alt announced a partnership to tokenize about $280 million in diamonds, according to a press statement released on Tuesday. The assets are held in the United Arab Emirates and backed by approved inventory partners working with Billiton.

The partners said the process embeds certification data and inventory records directly on-chain, where participants can verify the origin, grading details, and ownership history of the carbon mineral before any transaction occurs. 

Ctrl Alt is responsible for the full tokenization process, including minting the digital assets. However, the system has yet to fully launch, as it is still awaiting regulatory clearance from Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority.

Billiton Diamond taps XRPL to tokenize diamond sales

Billiton Diamond, known in diamond markets for its Vickrey auction model, has now moved to issuing tokenized models for the polished stones. The company’s current auction system has commendable price discovery and supply efficiency, but according to its executives, blockchain could add transparency to its post-polishing trade. 

The tokenization drive links to the collaboration between Ripple and Ctrl Alt formed in July 2025, which followed the latter firm’s announcement of its participation in Dubai’s land asset digitization the previous month. Ripple provided its blockchain to secure digital representations of real-world assets for Ctrl Alt, which has now hit a whopping $348 million valuation.

As reported by Cryptopolitan, the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre authority established connections among commodity traders, technology providers, and regulatory bodies through the Dubai Land Department Initiative, launched in June last year. 

According to Robert Farquhar, Ctrl Alt’s Chief Executive Officer for the Middle East and North Africa, the company has “proven tokenization expertise and technology” to help Billiton build a clear, secure, and compliant on-chain diamond ownership ecosystem. 

The forthcoming platform will include real-time inventory tracking tied to blockchain entries, with certification records accompanying each tokenized stone on XRPL. Per the partners, this will help traders verify what they are buying before making settlements, while also reducing documentation friction. 

Tokenized assets on XRPL shot up 2,000% in 2025

Ripple had a solid year after the US Securities and Exchange Commission decided to dismiss its case against the stablecoin issuer. A slump in regulatory scrutiny in the market helped boost tokenized assets on XRPL from $24.7 million in January to about $567.9 million by December 2025, according to data from market aggregator RWA.xyz.

At the time of this reporting, XRPL’s represented asset value was approaching $1.5 billion, while tokenized real-world assets had reached $220 million. Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin reached about $1.3 billion, and the blockchain hosts around $500 million in tokenized assets, according to figures cited by the company.
