[DigitalToday reporter Yoonseo Lee] U.S. supply-chain certification company Made In USA Inc. has integrated the XRP Ledger (XRPL) into its core technology infrastructure.

The Crypto Basic, a blockchain media outlet, reported on July 8 that the integration will see XRPL used as a foundational technology supporting supply-chain verification and product certification in the United States.

Made in USA, headquartered in Franklin, North Carolina, has provided U.S.-made certification services for more than 28 years. The company disclosed the XRPL integration in a Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on June 26.

The filing was submitted under Item 2.01 covering completion of an acquisition. Made in USA acquired intellectual property and technology assets from affiliate Made in USA One LLC in an all-stock transaction valued at $25 million. Payment was made with 5 million shares of restricted common stock, with no cash used.

The assets the company acquired became the foundation for a technology-based platform for U.S.-made verification, certification and supply-chain transparency. The filing said the platform uses a mix of public XRPL, private XRPL and Hyperledger-based blockchain infrastructure. It also includes artificial intelligence-based verification tools, trusted platform module security for hardware integrity attestation, an internet-of-things-connected enterprise resource planning system, and a modular DataWallet technology stack.

The core is a hybrid structure. The platform separates confidential business information from records for external verification. The filing specified that the private XRPL network stores sensitive business data, while the public XRP Ledger records permanent proof of product authenticity. This allows companies to protect internal information while providing independently verifiable records to regulators, counterparties and consumers.

The structure also cited XRPL’s suitability for commercial use. XRPL can process transactions in 3 to 5 seconds, with per-transaction fees below 1 cent, and can handle up to 1,500 transactions per second. It also has compliance features by default, such as approved trust lines, asset freezes and credential-based access control, reducing the need for companies to build separate complex smart-contract systems.

The case also aligns with a recent trend of widening XRPL use. Dubai Land Department selected XRPL for a real estate tokenisation project through the Prypco Mint platform in May 2025. In supply-chain finance, Hong Kong-listed fintech Linklogis worked with XRPL to tokenise invoices and accounts receivable and processed more than $2.8 billion in cross-border assets over a year. Brazilian securitisation firm VERT also issued $130 million worth of agribusiness receivables certificates on XRPL.

Unlike many recent XRPL projects focused on financial assets or real estate, Made in USA’s filing differs by pointing to a new use case in physical goods certification in the U.S. manufacturing sector. Attention is on whether XRPL can expand beyond payments and asset tokenisation into supply-chain proof infrastructure.
