TL;DR
- The XRP Ledger will incorporate credit and privacy tools that will allow institutions and retail users to operate without intermediaries.
- Amendments XLS-65 and XLS-66 will enable institutional lending pools backed by RLUSD, Ripple’s native stablecoin.
- Amendment XLS-0096 introduces “accountable” privacy over the MPT standard, encrypting balances and amounts without eliminating transparency for issuers and regulators.
Vet, Community Lead at the XRP Ledger Foundation and dUNL validator, published a detailed analysis of the upcoming updates to the XRP Ledger, revealing that the network is about to complete a transition toward a fully native DeFi stack. The goal is for institutions and everyday users to operate directly from their wallets, without relying on bridges, third-party smart contracts, or intermediaries that drive up costs.
The stack was built on the network’s existing infrastructure, which already includes an order book and an AMM, as well as tokenization and regulatory compliance controls. Added to this is amendment XLS-0096, which introduces the concept of accountable privacy through the Multi-Purpose Token (MPT) standard.
All of it ready out of the box, without a tax collector or middleman with institutions and retail users bootstrapping

This technology encrypts balances and transaction amounts from third parties, while offering transparency for issuers and regulators. The Permission Delegation mechanism complements this function, allowing banks and funds to delegate operations on private DEXs to traders or bots without exposing their wallets’ private keys.
Amendments for Institutional Credit on XRP Ledger
The development of the credit segment advances through amendments XLS-65 and XLS-66, whose main commercial driver is the official partnership between Ripple, DeFi platform Clearpool, and asset manager Cicada Partners. The association includes the launch of institutional lending pools backed by RLUSD, where large market firms will be able to request credit at fixed rates directly through the XRP Ledger.
For retail holders, the impact translates into three opportunities. Amendment XLS-65 introduces single-asset vaults that allow any user to deposit funds into liquidity pools and earn interest alongside institutional funds. The arrival of Clearpool’s credit lines, in turn, injects institutional capital into the ecosystem and increases total value locked. Finally, the integration of digital credentials through XLS-70 allows users to complete regulatory compliance verifications with a single click, without exposing personal data to third parties.
According to Vet, all of this infrastructure was built across bull and bear cycles with a single purpose: once the amendments are approved, retail users and large funds alike can access liquidity, loans, and data protection directly from their wallets, without the detours imposed by external applications.
