Where Aviva Investors' Tokenized Funds Sit on the XRP Ledger

Aviva Investors' two tokenized money market fund share classes are issued by one XRP Ledger account. Three wallets hold every unit, the two largest line up with the amounts in Ripple's press release, and the tokens cannot be traded or passed between holders.

The issuer

r9o37ZXw3VQyvZzYk4p6wEgGZhH14mHmr2 issues exactly two tokens. Both are Multi-Purpose Tokens (MPTs), the XRP Ledger's newer token type, and the description stored with each names its issuer as "Aviva Investors Liquidity Funds plc", with a link to Licuido, the tokenization platform named in Ripple's press release of 26 October 2026. The same day, the address was posted on X as "Onchain proof" of the launch.

What the funds are

Both are money market funds: they hold high-grade short-term debt and aim for low-risk returns with daily access to the money (Aviva's July release, Ripple's October release). Each is an Irish UCITS fund, and the token is a new share class of an existing fund, not a new fund.

The prospectus: "Each Digital Token represents, and is at all times directly linked to, a corresponding traditional share of the Fund and cannot exist independently of such traditional share", quoted by Ledger Insights, which reports the two records are reconciled daily.
  • Open to eligible investors with a digital wallet; the dollar fund's tokens start at £1 million (Ledger Insights).
  • Komainu provides digital asset custody and Licuido the tokenization platform. The Central Bank of Ireland approved the dollar share class, which Aviva calls a regulatory first (Aviva).
  • Not a deposit: Aviva's release says "an investment in a Money Market Fund is different from an investment in deposits and can fluctuate in price".

Ripple's press release says Aviva invested £50m ($66m) in the sterling share class and £86m ($116m) across both, which leaves about $50m in the dollar one. At one pound or one dollar per unit, the two large positions match. The third wallet holds 50,000 units of each and was created by rhz6MMvrU5aFPG1ReLSvaM5zGaoZJ8DB23, the wallet that also created the issuer.
