A small company in Franklin, North Carolina, just made one of the more interesting bets in enterprise blockchain. Made in USA Inc., which has spent nearly three decades certifying that products are actually manufactured in America, is integrating the XRP Ledger into a new verification platform designed to catch counterfeit goods before they reach consumers.
What the deal actually involves
On June 26, Made in USA Inc. completed the acquisition of intellectual property and technology assets from its affiliate, Made in USA One LLC. The transaction was structured entirely in stock, with 5 million restricted shares changing hands, and was disclosed via SEC Form 8-K.
The technology stack combines public and private instances of the XRP Ledger with Hyperledger frameworks, AI-powered verification tools, IoT-enabled ERP systems, and Trusted Platform Module hardware security.
The public XRPL handles permanent, tamper-proof authenticity records that anyone can verify. The private XRPL stores sensitive business data that companies don’t want competitors seeing. The platform also includes what the company calls a modular “DataWallet” stack, which appears designed to give manufacturers and retailers a portable digital identity for their products.
