# Aviva Investors tokenizes £29B Sterling fund share class on XRP Ledger

Aviva Investors has launched a tokenized share class of its Sterling Liquidity Fund on the XRP Ledger. The fund has about $29 billion in assets, and this is Aviva’s second tokenized fund listing as it works with Ripple to bring more funds onto the network.

## Key takeaways

- Aviva Investors launched a tokenized share class of its Sterling Liquidity Fund on the XRP Ledger.
- The Sterling Liquidity Fund has about $29 billion in assets.
- The launch is Aviva Investors’ second tokenized fund listing.
- Aviva Investors and Ripple are collaborating to bring more tokenized funds to the XRP Ledger.

Aviva Investors has launched a tokenized share class of its Sterling Liquidity Fund on the XRP Ledger, according to reports from CoinTelegraph and The Block. The fund holds about $29 billion in assets; tokenization represents fund shares as digital tokens recorded on a blockchain.

This is Aviva’s second tokenized fund listing. The company and Ripple are collaborating to bring more tokenized funds to the XRP Ledger, though the reports do not specify which funds or when further launches may happen.

## What does the XRP Ledger listing change?

The new share class puts an existing sterling-denominated fund on a blockchain rail. It does not mean the fund itself is a cryptocurrency: investors hold shares in a fund, with the blockchain used to record those interests.

For investors, the practical effect depends on who is eligible to buy the shares and how subscriptions, transfers and redemptions work. The reports do not provide those terms, so the launch alone does not establish that the fund is open to retail investors or that its shares can be freely traded.

## How does this fit Aviva’s earlier tokenized fund?

Aviva previously launched a tokenized share class of a US dollar liquidity fund on the XRP Ledger, with approval from Ireland’s Central Bank, according to earlier coverage of that launch. The Sterling fund share class extends the effort from a dollar product to a sterling one.

That distinction matters: this is another fund product using blockchain infrastructure, not evidence that the XRP Ledger has replaced traditional fund operations. The next useful details for investors are the new share class’s eligibility rules, costs and dealing process—none of which are specified in the reports.
