Ripple’s design focuses on speed and low cost, where it excels. Within seconds, you can create your own token, and it is this feature that attracted various developers who have now brought millions of different tokens on the XRPL.
The big issue is that the same level of openness is not being used when it comes to curating new entries, which is creating a bottleneck. New platforms like Trensik have taken the role of a gatekeeper, and they have started applying a more rigorous level of review before an asset gets an XRP pair.
Identity Over Anonymity
Permissionless open minting of tokens collides with permissioned distribution, as it was explained. To get verified, the issuers need to reveal their identities, jurisdictions, and responsibilities in general. Anonymous issuers are not taken seriously, and their assets are typically rejected for listing.
In the case of the issuance of real-world asset tokens, the platforms ask for proof from the that their underlying assets are fully covered and for reserve audits at the same time. Otherwise, the issuer’s asset will not qualify them for listing because there is no real claimable value backed by it.

The Technical Due Diligence Behind Listings
The mechanism of the company to evaluate and control risk while complying with laws is similar to how compliance officers at banks, exchanges, and investment funds review and assess a listing proposal that is brought by a startup for their crypto assets, for instance, on Ethereum, the native blockchain technology to which the company belongs.

The Rise of Curation as a Core Offering
In the midst of an overwhelming number of tokens where one cannot differentiate easily between a genuine one and the rest, information asymmetry is a major problem for investors, institutions, and regulators. A developer that gets included in the list of those to be evaluated receives a clear signal on his/her level of credibility.
The other main beneficiary, apart from developers, is definitely the exchange itself as they get to reduce the risk level of their operations. This system has a lot in common with the wider trend in the industry to move away from just being quantity-focused to also looking at quality; something that has been observed Mostly in the requirements for the approvals of ETFs and the attestation of stablecoin.
