Ripple and Tenity Unveil XRPL Accelerator in Singapore's Fintech Hub
**Ripple and Tenity Launch XRPL Accelerator in Singapore**
Ripple, a leading enterprise blockchain and crypto solutions company, and Tenity, a global fintech incubator, have announced the launch of the XRPL Accelerator. Based in Singapore, the program is designed to support startups and corporate innovation teams building solutions on the XRP Ledger (XRPL).
The XRPL Accelerator is specifically focused on three key areas: real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, institutional decentralized finance (DeFi), and the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain. These focus areas aim to facilitate digital ownership and trade of assets such as real estate, commodities, and more, support the development of DeFi solutions tailored for institutional use, and encourage innovative applications that combine AI with blockchain technology for enhanced automation and analytics.
Selected startups will benefit from up to USD 200,000 in non-equity funding, mentorship and consulting from leading industry experts, strategic and marketing support, and access to Ripple’s global ecosystem of investors and partners. This funding model enables startups to test and validate their ideas in the market with lower financial risk.
The XRPL Accelerator is open to both early-stage startups and larger business teams exploring blockchain integration. The program aims to cultivate new talent, unlock scalable use cases for the XRPL, and reinforce Singapore’s position as a global hub for blockchain and digital asset innovation. Participating teams will retain complete ownership of their intellectual property and innovations.
The Ripple-Tenity partnership continues a deeper collaboration between the two organizations, aiming to build practical, compliant, and globally scalable solutions in the blockchain sector. Fiona Murray, Ripple's Managing Director for Asia-Pacific, believes Singapore is an ideal location for the XRPL Accelerator due to its openness to digital innovation and progressive regulatory environment. Jonas Thurig, Managing Partner at Tenity, sees the XRPL Accelerator as a launchpad for transformative ideas that have the potential to reshape finance, enhance accessibility to real-world assets, and explore the evolving synergy between AI and blockchain.
The XRPL Accelerator is scheduled to launch in September 2025 and will occur twice a year. The program will provide startups with the resources, tools, and partnerships necessary to convert blockchain concepts into regulation-compliant solutions. According to government officials in Singapore, the XRPL Accelerator will not only unlock new opportunities on the XRP Ledger but also create tangible benefits for businesses and communities across Asia. This partnership reinforces Singapore's position as a leading global hub for blockchain advancements.

This program, launching in Singapore in September 2025, also aims to reinforce Singapore as a global hub for blockchain and digital asset innovation, particularly in the realms of finance, technology, and business.
