Epic Chain, backed by Ripple, is building an XRP-native platform to tokenize RWAs such as real estate, credit, commodities, and collectibles, tapping into a 50+ trillion market. Launched originally as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum, EPIC is migrating to an EVM-compatible XRP Ledger sidechain for native liquidity and deeper integration with the XRP ecosystem. One of the few small-cap tokens to survive multiple market cycles, EPIC has evolved from a collectibles marketplace into a full Layer 2 RWA solution. Integration with Ripple USD (RLUSD) enables native USD settlement for yields, treasury management, and cross-border payments. On the consumer side, the “Epic One” VISA crypto card offers up to 8% XRP cashback with no daily limits, usable in over 180 countries. Fanable, its collectibles platform, continues to attract thousands of users through licensed IP partnerships. Valued at a 60M FDV, it’s listed on Binance, Bybit, and Kucoin with more listings expected. Operating in 150+ countries, it targets 100M+ traders, connects to over a billion bank accounts, and is supported by a 1M adoption and liquidity program. Despite risks from XRP’s slower corporate pace and @EpicOnChain's history of pivots, its position at the intersection of RWA tokenization and XRP integration gives it strong potential in both retail and institutional markets. EPIC, which I have invested in, may be one of the cheapest XRP beta plays on tier-1 exchanges.(Route 2 FI)
