XRP Ledger: 5 Fixes That’ll Either Save You or Cost You Millions 😬💸

by

Let’s talk about the XRP Ledger-because nothing says “trust” like a blockchain that’s still figuring out basic accounting. Ripple’s latest tech upgrades are so groundbreaking, they probably invented the concept of “reliability” just to fix it. By 2026, these amendments might change everything… or just confuse everyone more. 🤷‍♂️

Upcoming XRP Ledger Developments

Ripple dropped XRPL 3.0.0 like it’s the new iPhone. Five amendments are now under review, addressing issues like “price-oracle sorting” (because who doesn’t want to sort prices?), token-escrow accounting errors (classic blockchain drama), and AMM rounding problems (because math is hard, even for computers). Investors are watching closely-probably while sipping coffee and wondering why they didn’t just buy Bitcoin. ☕

The five amendments currently open for voting by Jan 2026 are:

  • fixAMMClawbackRounding
  • fixIncludeKeyletFields
  • fixMPTDeliveredAmount
  • fixPriceOracleOrder
  • fixTokenEscrowV1

Let’s break it down like a Monday morning meeting gone wrong:

fixAMMClawbackRounding: Fixes a rounding error when the last LP token holder cashes out. Previously, AMM balances and trust lines fought like siblings over the last cookie. Now they’ll get along-probably. 🍪

fixIncludeKeyletFields: Adds missing fields to ledger entries. Because who needs clear owner fields or document IDs? Just wing it. 🎯

fixMPTDeliveredAmount: Adds metadata to MPT payments so investors can finally see what they actually got. Because transparency is so overrated. 🤷‍♀️

fixPriceOracleOrder: Enforces consistent asset pair ordering. Because chaos in price data is exactly what we wanted. 📉

fixTokenEscrowV1: Corrects transfer fee errors in MPT escrows. Now issuer-locked balances will be accurate… maybe. 🤞

XRPL Plans New Institutional Lending Protocol By 2026

Edward Hennis at Ripple just announced a lending protocol that’ll “transform on-ledger lending.” Translation: It’ll be another way for institutions to lose money, but with more jargon. 🚨 The protocol promises “fixed-term, fixed-rate, underwritten credit” for institutions. Because nothing says “reliable” like public contributions in a Single Asset Vault. 🏦

According to Hennis, Market Makers and fintech lenders will get access to XRP and RLUSD for “institutional use cases.” Which probably means they’ll just trade it for coffee. ☕
