- Leaked thread links Ripple and BlackRock through tokenized treasury assets.
- XRP Ledger may power digital identity and asset tokenization systems.
- Claims suggest coordinated strategy, but no official confirmation exists yet.
A viral social media thread posted by crypto researcher Chain Mind (@0xChainMind) on July 23 has sparked widespread speculation about a possible behind-the-scenes alliance between financial heavyweight BlackRock and blockchain company Ripple.
The reports, which involve alleged leaked documents and observations, indicate that both companies might be moving towards a common infrastructure using different faces to the masses.
According to Chain Mind, Ripple and BlackRock seem interconnected as they are involved with tokenizing real-life resources. Through Ripple’s partnership with Ondo Finance, U.S. Treasuries were issued at XRP Ledger under the ticker OUSG.
Its tokenized treasuries are said to act as wrappers around money market funds that comprise products like the BlackRock USD Treasury fund. Ripple contributes the blockchain rails, and BlackRock provides the liquidity.
Personnel history is another connecting avenue in the post, as Nathan Allman, the co-founder of Ondo Finance, previously worked at Goldman Sachs. Many of BlackRock’s leading officials share the same background, including Gary Gensler, the former U.S. SEC Chair.

Gensler, who previously led the regulatory battle against Ripple, is now part of a network of overlapping affiliations that some observers view as more than a coincidence.
The lawsuit between Ripple and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) ended in an important way. One court ruling decided that XRP, the native token of Ripple, was not a security when sold on secondary exchanges. Hence, Ripple got a rare regulatory clarity that many other cryptocurrency companies have yet to receive.

Shared Infrastructure or Coordinated Signals?
Further claims in the thread explore deeper alignments between the two firms. The $XDNA token reportedly launched on the same day President Donald Trump signed a key legislative bill.
That same day, multiple Bitcoin wallets that had not been in use since 2011 were reactivated.
The $XDNA ticker also matches the one used for BlackRock’s existing DNA ETF, which has led to theories of a strategic signal.
The XRP Ledger’s technical evolution adds to the intrigue. With built-in support for decentralized identities, data credentials, and sovereign data storage, XRPL may be positioned to serve future financial infrastructure demands.
These developments reflect Ripple’s shift toward identity-centered systems, which CEO Brad Garlinghouse described as tools to return control of personal data to individuals.
AI Systems and Standards Converging
Another aspect of the discussion involves BlackRock’s proprietary AI system, Aladdin, which manages over $20 trillion in assets. Unverified allegations indicated that Aladdin had been trying out RippleNet and XRP ledger capabilities in the form of cross-border payment systems.
As Ripple and Fedwire’s infrastructures have become compliant with the ISO 20022 global messaging format, interoperability between them has become a potential area of interest.
Chief executive Larry Fink of BlackRock has previously referred to tokenization as the next significant step in financial markets. According to observers, Ripple’s infrastructure can then fit with this long-term vision, especially when digital identities and tokenized assets intertwine at the global level.
Fact Check: No Official Confirmation
Despite the speculation and growing online discussions, Ripple or BlackRock has not released an official statement confirming any partnership or coordinated system development.
The details shared in the thread remain unverified and should be approached with caution. At present, there is no concrete evidence to support the claim that the two companies are operating as one or jointly executing a unified strategy.
