XRP Ledger is preparing for the xrpld 3.3.0 release, which proposes five amendments focused on tokenization, institutional finance, and real-world asset adoption.
RippleX Head of Product Jazzi Cooper disclosed the features on X. She said XRPL has already shown that it can support tokenized assets at scale and is now expanding toward global transfers, trading, collateralization, and settlement.
The release is expected next week, although none of the amendments will activate automatically. Independent validators must approve each proposal through the network’s amendment voting process.
XRP Ledger Privacy and Settlement Tools
Confidential MPT introduces privacy controls for Multi-Purpose Tokens through elliptic-curve cryptography and zero-knowledge proofs. Token issuers and holders could keep balances and transaction amounts private while allowing authorized regulators or auditors to view the information when required.
The feature addresses concerns among financial institutions that public blockchains expose transaction data. It would allow tokenized assets to retain selective confidentiality while operating on XRP Ledger infrastructure.
Batch would allow multiple transactions involving different accounts to be grouped into one atomic operation. Every transaction in the group would either complete together or fail together.
This structure supports financial workflows, including delivery-versus-payment settlements. It can reduce settlement risk by ensuring that linked asset transfers and payments occur as a single coordinated process.
Delegated Permissions Ease Institutional Control
Permission Delegation would allow organizations to grant narrowly defined transaction permissions without surrendering control of their main signing keys. Treasury teams and financial institutions could authorize routine actions while protecting critical issuance and reserve accounts.
Sponsored Fees and Reserves would allow banks, token issuers, or platforms to cover XRP transaction fees and reserve requirements for users. New users could access XRPL applications without first purchasing XRP for onboarding or transaction costs.
Users would still control their wallets and private keys. The proposal targets a longstanding usability barrier while preserving direct account ownership.
Dynamic MPT would give issuers flexibility after a token is created. Selected properties, including transfer fees, token metadata, and other predefined features, could be updated without issuing a replacement token.
Validator Approval Determines Activation
Cooper said, “The release is currently anticipated for next week. As always, these amendments will only activate following validator approval.” She also encouraged validator operators to review the proposals as they become available.
The planned release follows the activation of fixCleanup3.2.0, which delivered bug fixes covering vaults, lending, permissioned domains, Multi-Purpose Tokens, and the permissioned decentralized exchange.
More than 80% of validators supported that amendment before activation. Under XRPL governance rules, each amendment must maintain at least 80% approval from trusted validators for two consecutive weeks before it becomes active.
The process ensures that validators, rather than Ripple, decide whether the proposed features become part of the XRP Ledger protocol.
