Former Ripple Executive Dhellemmes Takes on RWA-Focused Role at Canton Network

Aurélie Dhellemmes has transitioned from RippleX to Canton Network, where she will be responsible for global initiatives in the realm of real-world assets (RWA). Dhellemmes' new title is 'Head of Global RWA,' although this information has yet to be officially confirmed. Having worked on corporate partnerships and the development of the blockchain ecosystem at RippleX, Dhellemmes' new position reflects the movement of executives in the corporate tokenization space. This development does not imply a new integration or partnership on the XRP Ledger, but it is significant in terms of competition between the two ecosystems. While Ripple seeks to expand its activities in tokenization and real-world assets on the XRP Ledger, Canton Network is gaining attention with its permissioned blockchain infrastructure developed for banks. Dhellemmes' change in role indicates an increase in competition between corporate finance and blockchain technology. No official statement has been made by Digital Asset or Ripple, so further details are awaited.
