ChainCatcher report: The latest software version 3.3.0 of the XRP Ledger (XRPL) introduces several upgrade proposals, including the "Confidential Transfers" feature, designed to enhance privacy for institutional users by encrypting token balances and transfer amounts while preserving visibility of accounts and token types. This feature primarily targets Multi-Purpose Tokens (MPTs) on XRPL, with key use cases including tokenized financial assets such as funds and bonds. Using cryptographic techniques like zero-knowledge proofs, the network can verify transaction validity without revealing specific amounts. According to CoinDesk, XRPL currently has approximately $1.38 billion in on-chain real-world assets (RWA), including about $845.7 million in RLUSD. Beyond RLUSD, over $530 million in tokenized assets on XRPL are issued by entities such as Ondo, VERT Capital, Archax, and Société Générale. In addition to Confidential Transfers, version 3.3.0 includes five other proposals: Batch, Sponsor, Permission Delegation, and Dynamic MPT, addressing institutional needs such as batch transactions, fee sponsorship, permission management, and dynamic adjustment of token attributes. However, these upgrades have not yet been activated and require sustained support from more than 80% of trusted XRPL validation nodes over a two-week period to be implemented. The market is closely watching whether institutions such as Aviva and Ondo, which have already issued assets on XRPL, will adopt this privacy feature.
