ria has expanded its self-custodial financial platform to 150 countries, offering decentralized trading across digital assets, commodities and equities.

Tria is positioning its platform as a self-custodial neobank for XRP and RLUSD, allowing users to manage digital assets without giving up control of their funds. The multi-chain wallet supports XRP and RLUSD alongside features for swapping and trading assets. Tria CSO John Lilic discussed the platform during an XRP Seoul 2026 keynote.

Kyobo Securities highlighted collateral mobility and liquidity as key benefits of tokenized assets during an XRP Seoul 2026 panel on blockchain and financial markets. The discussion pointed to assets such as money market funds (MMFs), where tokenization could enable 24/7 movement of collateral and liquidity. The shift could also expand the role of banks from traditional intermediaries toward platforms managing programmable digital and traditional assets.

Woori Bank and Kbank are exploring blockchain-based infrastructure to modernize back-end financial settlement, according to discussions at XRP Seoul 2026. The banks highlighted the potential to move away from fragmented legacy ledgers and reduce T+1 and T+2 settlement delays.

T54 is developing a trust and identity framework for AI agents operating in digital commerce. The system includes KYA (Know Your Agent) verification, user-defined spending limits and on-chain dispute and chargeback mechanisms. The framework is designed to connect AI agents with financial networks and merchants while reducing risks linked to autonomous transactions. Partners cited in the XRP Seoul 2026 keynote include Ripple, Mastercard and AWS.

T54 has introduced a native agentic wallet on the XRP Ledger designed to let AI agents execute payments within user-defined limits. The wallet allows agents to receive pre-approval for transactions and use XRP or RLUSD for payments. The system is designed to give users greater control over automated transactions while enabling AI agents to handle purchases and other payment-related tasks.

The XRP Ledger is processing more than 2.7 million daily transactions, with AI agents accounting for 25% of activity, according to the XRP Seoul 2026 keynote on building a trusted agentic economy. The growing AI-agent activity highlights XRPL’s role in automated payments. Its low-cost and fast settlement capabilities allow agents to transact using XRP and RLUSD while operating within predefined user spending limits.

At XRP Seoul 2026, Ripple President Monica Long highlighted the XRP Ledger’s growing focus on institutional use cases. Tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) are projected to grow from $6 billion to $30 billion, while AI agent transactions could increase from 10 million to 100 million. XRPL is being positioned for tokenization, lending, collateral mobility and global payments, supporting its broader institutional adoption strategy.
