🚨THE SETUP IS DONE🚨Everything was positioning for this moment...
There's been a lotrof debate about where the derivatives market will ultimately be tokenized, with many arguing it could never work on Ethereumtbecause gas fees are too high. But that debate is largely over.
Tokenization is already happening, and we can see both whytand how it's being built.
Ethereum is being used as the initial issuance and settlement layer due to its deep liquidity, legal precedent, and institutional infrastructure - even though mainnet fees remain high. What's often missed is that execution and high-frequency activity do not need to happen on Ethereum itself. That activity can move to cheaper, Ethereum-compatible environments. This is where the XRPL EVM Sidechain becomes relevant: it supports full EVM smart-contract compatibility whilesusing XRP as the native gas token, enabling fast, low-cost execution without changing Ethereum's underlying protocol. Developers are already building toward this multi-chain model, supported by cross-chain interoperability. And even if derivatives don't ultimately settle on XRPL's EVM sidechain specifically, tokenization won't stop it will move to whichever execution layer offers institutions the best mix of liquidity, cost efficiency, and regulatory alignment.
