The XRPL accelerator, expected to launch in September 2025, will run twice annually to supercharge startups and corporate innovation teams, including those based in Singapore, developing next-generation blockchain solutions.

Fiona Murray, Managing Director of APAC, Ripple, stresses the importance of this initiative for the progress of Ripple’s ecosystem in the region:

Singapore has firmly established itself as a forward-thinking leader in digital innovation. This accelerator will help cultivate a new generation of talent and unlock scalable use cases on the XRPL that benefit industries and communities across the region, further establishing Singapore as a center for blockchain talent.

With a focus on real-world asset tokenization, institutional DeFi and the intersection of AI and blockchain, the 12-week program offers up to $200,000 in nonequity funding, mentorship from leading industry experts and exclusive access to Ripple’s global ecosystem of investors and partners.

As of 2025, Singapore is a home for over 300 cryptocurrency companies, which brought $750 million in funding in the last 12 months.

Bringing next generation of apps to XRP Ledger

Jonas Thurig, Managing Partner, Tenity, welcomes the collaboration with Ripple on the blockchain accelerator’s release in Q4, 2025:

This partnership with Ripple to drive the next wave of blockchain innovation has been a longstanding one. The XRPL Accelerator will support and drive visionary founders who are reimagining financial systems, tokenizing real-world assets, and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with AI and blockchain. This is more than an accelerator — it’s a launchpad for game-changing ideas to scale globally.

The hybrid program will include virtual workshops and two on-site immersion weeks in Singapore, culminating in a Demo Day where startups pitch to investors and ecosystem partners. Participants will receive hands-on support in areas including product strategy, token design, go-to-market planning and investor readiness.

Applications are now open to startups and corporate teams with a clear market fit and the ambition to build high-impact ventures on the XRP Ledger.
