  • The XRPL Accelerator, operated by Ripple Labs in collaboration with Tenity, has officially opened its 12-week Cohort 6 in Singapore. 
  • This program spotlights nine startups building financial services on the XRP Ledger, aiming to deliver real-world impact through blockchain.

The XRPL Accelerator is back with a fresh lineup of builders, and this time, the focus is all about solving real-world problems. Launched in partnership with Ripple and innovation hub Tenity, Cohort 6 brings together nine startups who are all using the XRP Ledger (XRPL) to tackle payments, stablecoins, tokenization, and even AI-driven finance.

The previous cohort took place between March 20 and May 16. At that time, XRPL had partnered with Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), a leading global financial hub located in Dubai.

Running over 12 weeks in a hybrid format, mostly virtual with a live Demo Day in August, the XRPL Accelerator gives each selected startup up to $200,000 in non-dilutive funding, plus access to mentorship, investor introductions, and Ripple’s global ecosystem.

The aim? To help founders build products and businesses on XRPL, especially in areas like cross-border finance, DeFi, and emerging market tools.

“These 9 teams will go through a high-impact program designed to sharpen their value propositions, deepen their integration with the XRPL ecosystem, and prepare them for investor and customer traction. Demo Day is slated for mid-August, and these teams aren’t just building for hype, they’re building for real-world impact,” Jorden Tan is the Web3 Program Lead at Tenity, stated.

What the Startups Are Building

From the UAE, endl.io is reimagining what a crypto-friendly bank account could look like. Fully licensed and focused on cross-border payments, the platform makes it easy for users to convert fiat into stablecoins while earning yield, all without needing to be a DeFi expert.

Anodos is another start-up based in the US that is simplifying peer-to-peer payments for individuals and small businesses. Zynara is also building a smart payment solution designed specifically for freelancers. With built-in escrow for milestone-based projects, it’s perfect for today’s gig economy, where remote work and trust go hand in hand.

Archway Finance is making life easier for freelancers in emerging markets, specifically in the UK, by using USDC to simplify international payments. It’s integrated directly with platforms like Fiverr, Upwork, and Deel.

Meanwhile, Agrify, another UK-based project, is using blockchain to connect small-scale suppliers in developing countries with global buyers, creating fairer, more direct access to markets that once felt out of reach.

In Ireland, Fortstock is doing something pretty innovative, turning warehouse receipts into tokenized assets that businesses can actually use as collateral for loans. It’s a clever way to unlock value from inventory that would otherwise just sit on shelves. T54 Labs is building out infrastructure for the future, developing tools that allow AI agents to operate independently on the XRP Ledger.

Their platform, tLedger, gives these agents the ability to manage assets, make transactions, and interact with different blockchains, all through a streamlined SDK and API system.

Meanwhile, Stablpay is zeroing in on affordable, fast cross-border payments in the Global South, powered by stablecoins. It’s a solution that could be a game-changer for underserved communities needing reliable financial tools.

And down in Argentina, Loula is working to simplify cross-border trade across Latin America using stablecoins, giving businesses a more stable and efficient way to transact across borders.
