Overview
- XRPL Version 3.0.0 is slated for later this year with a native lending protocol using Single-Asset Vaults to pool liquidity, issue transferable shares, and manage fixed-term loans on-chain while underwriting stays off-chain.
- The Multi-Purpose Token standard is set to launch in October to represent bonds, funds, and structured products natively without smart contracts.
- Zero-knowledge integrations are in development, with confidential Multi-Purpose Tokens targeted for Q1 2026 to enable privacy-preserving collateral and proofs with regulator-facing auditability.
- Compliance tooling is live, including Credentials for DID-linked KYC attestations, Deep Freeze to halt flagged transfers, and Simulate for pre-commit transaction testing.
- Ripple is urging validators to upgrade and vote on features and is directing developers to test lending and tokenization on the devnet, citing over $1 billion in monthly stablecoin settlement and top‑10 RWA activity as momentum.
