Soil Launches First Compliant RWA-Backed Yield Protocol on XRPL to Unlock Utility for RLUSD Holders
ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates, February 19th, 2026, Chainwire
ORQO Group, an institutional asset manager and technology platform operating at the intersection of traditional finance and blockchain, today announced that its fintech platform, Soil, which provides stablecoin holders secure, predictable returns through tokenized real-world assets, has expanded onto Ripple’s XRP Ledger (XRPL).
The expansion onto XRPL is now finalized as users filled out $1 million asset pools in under 72 hours, with future pools to follow in the coming weeks. Soil has now become a compliant yield protocol on XRPL to enable holders of RLUSD stablecoin to access institutional-grade returns, backed by traditional assets.
The launch marks a major expansion for Soil, building on a three-year track record of delivering stable, risk-adjusted yield across major Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) networks like Polygon, Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Arbitrum. Soil’s deployment on XRPL expands RLUSD’s utility, transforming it into an asset with consistent, asset-backed return potential, thereby reinforcing ORQO’s mission of bridging TradFi with on-chain infrastructure.
Through Soil’s protocol, users can allocate RLUSD into on-chain Yield Vaults and earn fixed returns generated via low-volatility financial instruments including private credit, tokenized treasuries, and market-neutral hedge funds.
As stablecoins continue their shift from a niche utility to a foundational global payment rail, industry forecasts project the market to reach $2 trillion by 2028, a trajectory fueled by accelerating mainstream adoption, clearer regulatory frameworks, and significant industry consolidation.
“The stablecoin market’s transition toward a multi-trillion-dollar ecosystem requires the right infrastructure to deliver institutional-grade yield at scale,” said Nick Motz, CEO of ORQO Group and CIO of Soil. “Our expansion onto XRPL leverages our track record to directly integrate transparent, asset-backed yield into the platform. This move positions us to capture a share of this growth trajectory and reinforces the essential role stablecoins play in global finance under the guidance of industry leaders like Ripple.”
Soil chose the XRP Ledger for its next major expansion to leverage the chain’s compliance-ready, scalable ecosystem. XRPL offers near-instant finality and negligible transaction fees, making it an ideal environment for capital-efficient, high-volume operations.
