XRP Ledger Expands Lending, Tokenization and FX Tools for Institutional Finance

The XRP Ledger is adding institutional features for tokenization, lending, and FX, with XRP used as the native bridge asset and for transaction fees that are burned over time. New tools such as Multi-Purpose Tokens, token escrow, batch transactions, and identity-linked credentials support compliant asset issuance, while a planned lending protocol and upcoming upgrades like Confidential Transfers and a Permissioned DEX aim to broaden on-chain financial use cases.
