Japanese financial group, SBI Holdings believes the XRP token and XRP Ledger can be used alongside non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
Tokenization Could Be An Opportunity For XRP LedgerIn a new report titled “Current Management Information Briefing,” SBI listed reasons why it thinks XRP could be great for NFTs. The group argues that XRP has extremely low transaction fees and is an asset that settles transactions instantly. The company stated,
“The blockchain XRP Ledger has the ability to tokenize not only XRP but also a variety of other assets and has extremely low transaction fees that can be settled instantly with a very low environmental impact because it does not use mining and has decentralized trading capabilities.”
Citing a blog post on Ripple’s website dubbed “Building a More Sustainable, Scalable, and Accessible Future for NFTs with XRPL”, SBI said NFTs can be issued on the XRP Ledger.
The firm added that XRP community members have already proposed a model for NFTs showing that Ripple is thinking in that direction. The model will be formally adopted upon review and voting by the XRP community, SBI disclosed.
