- Ripple and BlackRock’s partnership rumors have been critically analyzed by Stellar Rippler in a post that claims that the clues are everywhere.
- Stellar Rippler has uncovered that some top BlackRock executives, Ondo’s founder, and former SEC Chair Gary Gensler, all came from Goldman Sachs.
BlackRock and Ripple are rumored to be more deeply connected than anticipated and could be working towards a common goal.
Uncovering the truth and putting all the puzzle pieces together, a popular X page called Stellar Rippler has argued that these companies have strategically aligned to build the same system under different names.
The Existing Connection and Ripple’s Secret Moves
Firstly, the CEO of BlackRock, Larry Finks, was quoted as saying that “the next generation of markets would be tokenization of stocks and bonds”. Meanwhile, U.S. Treasuries are already tokenized on the XRP Ledger through Ondo Finance.
According to Stellar Rippler, BlackRock has also partnered with Ondo. Fascinatingly, the Ondo co-founder Nathan Allman came from Goldman Sachs. Not just that, the post suggests that people in the highest positions in BlackRock and the former chair of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Gary Gensler, all came from there. This interesting relationship, according to Stellar Rippler, indicates that Ripple’s multi-year legal battle and its subsequent settlement could be an initiation instead of a punishment.
Another intriguing aspect of this whole analysis is BlackRock’s ETF which is called iShares Genomics, Immunology, and Healthcare Index ETF ($XDNA). According to Stellar Rippler, this ETF is primarily focused on DNA, genomic infrastructure, and health data investments. It is basically about encrypted medical data, access credentials for the post-reset world, and decentralized and sovereign DNA identity. In a more interesting twist, the $XDNA has been launched on the XRPL.
What does this mean? Stellar Rippler believes that XRPL is slowly becoming the foundation for sovereign and on-chain identity. While this has not been mentioned explicitly, Ripple boss Brad Garlinghouse was highlighted to have said that “the government owns your identity”. Also, Ripple was said to have no interest in fighting the system but instead, it is aligning itself to “absorb this strategically and pragmatically.”
For BlackRock’s Aladdin, an unconfirmed rumor hints that it has recently tested on a “blockchain-based cross-border payment rails.” According to Stellar Rippler, this could be RippleNet. Also, Ripple’s effort to tokenize treasuries, real estate, Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), and commodities strongly aligns with BlackRock’s Digital Assets Strategy which ensure that $100 trillion in capital is unlocked through tokenization.
The clues are everywhere…Ripple. BlackRock. Sovereign ID. Something is being built and only a few can see it. I connect the dots before they become headlines.
In a recent update, CNF disclosed that Ripple and Boston Consulting Group (BCG) have projected the Real World Asset (RWA) tokenization market to hit $18.9 trillion by 2033 from $0.6T in 2025.
As indicated in our earlier discussion, Ripple has also secured a custody deal to tokenize property titles on the XRPL. Interestingly, Ondo has also launched a global alliance with nine key crypto players to back its tokenized RWA, as discussed earlier.
