Aviva Investors Lists Tokenized Share Class of $29B Sterling Fund on XRP Ledger

The signal here is less the tokenization itself than the venue choice: a large traditional asset manager is extending tokenized share classes onto a public chain, and doing so for a second fund rather than as a one-off pilot. That matters for the XRP Ledger's positioning in institutional fund distribution, where it competes with other public and permissioned networks for issuance. The open question is whether the collaboration's stated aim of bringing more tokenized funds to the ledger translates into further launches, and whether other large managers follow the same chain-specific pattern.
