Project Overview
XRP Ledger is a decentralized public blockchain. Anyone can connect their computer to the peer-to-peer network that manages the ledger. Ripple is a contributor to this network. With the XRPL, developers are building innovative projects and applications across various blockchain use cases, such as tokenizing assets, online gaming, asset custody, NFTs, and DeFi.
CSD BR and Ripple enter strategic partnership to mirror financial asset ownership records on the XRP Ledger
CSD BR, Brazil's securities registration, custody and settlement institution, announced a strategic partnership with Ripple. In the first phase of the collaboration, CSD BR will leverage the Multi-Purpose Token (MPT) standard on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) to tokenize investment fund shares under BTG Pactual and establish a mirror of ownership records.
XRPL Plans to Introduce Privacy Transfer Feature, Targeting Tokenized Asset Market of Over $530 Million
Odaily News: The latest software version 3.3.0 of XRP Ledger (XRPL) introduces several upgrade proposals, including Confidential Transfers. This feature is designed for institutional users, supporting encrypted token balances and transfer amounts while preserving the visibility of accounts and token types. It is primarily applied to Multi-Purpose Tokens (MPT) on XRPL, including tokenized financial assets such as funds and bonds. Through cryptographic technologies like zero-knowledge proofs, the network can verify transaction validity without disclosing specific amounts. XRPL currently holds approximately $1.38 billion in on-chain real-world assets (RWA), including about $845.7 million in RLUSD. In addition to RLUSD, there are over $530 million in tokenized assets on XRPL, involving issuers such as Ondo, VERT Capital, Archax, and Societe Generale. XRPL 3.3.0 also includes five proposals—Batch, Sponsor, Permission Delegation, and Dynamic MPT—addressing institutional needs such as batch transactions, fee sponsorship, permission management, and dynamic adjustments to token attributes. The aforementioned upgrades have not yet been officially launched and will only be activated after receiving support from more than 80% of XRPL's trusted validator nodes for two consecutive weeks.
Ripple Announces Strategic Investment in UK ZILO and Licuido
Ripple announced strategic investments in UK fund technology company ZILO and FCA-regulated tokenized trading platform Licuido, integrating regulated digital transfer agency, asset issuance, and collateral liquidity capabilities into the XRP Ledger. Ripple stated that the relevant infrastructure will support tokenized funds as collateral from the issuance stage and enable atomic settlement via XRPL, while RLUSD can serve as the regulated cash leg in delivery versus payment transactions. The investment amount was not disclosed.

Odaily News: Ripple announced strategic investments in ZILO and Licuido, stating that these deals will bring regulated transfer agency, securities issuance, and collateral liquidity features to its XRP Ledger-based infrastructure.
Ripple plans to introduce an institutional-grade lending protocol on XRPL, allowing tokenized assets to be used as collateral for financing.
Ripple is advancing the addition of a lending infrastructure layer on the XRP Ledger (XRPL), enabling institutions to raise funds using on-chain tokenized assets as collateral. The protocol will automatically execute loan terms, while credit evaluation and lending decisions remain handled by off-chain institutions.According to disclosures, the proposal is named the XRPL Lending Protocol (corresponding to XLS-65 and XLS-66 standards). It is currently in the technical draft stage and will require approval through validator voting before launching on the mainnet, but developer testing has already been opened on the test network.The protocol’s design splits the lending process into two parts: on-chain management of liquidity pools, interest calculation, repayment execution, and default handling; while borrower credit assessment and loan term setting remain with traditional financial institutions to meet compliance requirements across different jurisdictions.Ripple states that the mechanism is primarily aimed at institutional short-term liquidity needs. For example, in cross-border payment scenarios, temporary financing through stablecoins or collateral assets can be obtained before settlement is completed, thereby improving capital efficiency.Analysts believe that while the plan attempts to introduce a “rule-enforced lending infrastructure” similar to traditional finance while maintaining XRPL's open network attributes, it will still face competition from established on-chain lending protocols such as Aave, Compound, and Maple.

Nearly 200,000 XRP Stolen, Coreum Cross-Chain Bridge Attacked
Odaily News: The cross-chain bridge connecting XRP Ledger and Coreum was attacked on August 9. The attacker exploited a validation logic vulnerability to steal approximately 199,900 XRP, reducing the bridge's asset balance from roughly 200,400 XRP to 493.5 XRP. The attack did not involve private key leaks and did not target the XRP Ledger protocol itself. The attacker forged deposit operations, causing the bridge system to recognize them as legitimate deposits and triggering the bridge wallet on the other end to send real XRP. On-chain data shows that the attacker completed the fund transfer through 94 multi-signature authorization transactions within 97 minutes. These transactions required signatures from 17 of the 28 relay node keys, allowing the attacker to bypass the bridge's validation mechanism. As of August 11, the Coreum cross-chain bridge remains suspended, and the Coreum Development Foundation has not yet released an official incident report. The XRP mainnet and user private keys remain unaffected and secure.
Next week's release: XRP Ledger's new version, xrpld 3.3.0, will feature five new capabilities

BIS Publishes Working Paper: Exploring Blockchain-Based Verification Solutions for Official Statistical Data
According to BIS Working Paper 1374 released by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), the BIS, together with several researchers, has proposed a verifiable framework that binds official statistical data to the blockchain. The solution computes cryptographic fingerprints for SDMX datasets and anchors the digest values to the XRP Ledger, enabling independent verification of data provenance and integrity while leaving existing data publication workflows unaffected. Prototype tests show a data publication latency of approximately 3–5 seconds and a verification latency of approximately 1–2 seconds, meeting the requirements for real-time interactions and automated systems. Since only fingerprints, rather than raw data, are stored on-chain, data confidentiality is preserved. Cost modeling indicates that on-chain fees become negligible after batch processing, with a single ledger record capable of covering thousands of datasets. The study also provides an open-source reference implementation and reserves capacity for future integration of zero-knowledge proofs and AI-driven automated verification.
