RippleX Head of Product Jazzi Cooper has announced a groundbreaking technological upgrade for the XRP Ledger (XRPL) — version 3.3.0 — scheduled for official release next week. The update will introduce five fundamental amendments designed to remove barriers that have prevented traditional financial institutions from entering public blockchains.
In a statement, Cooper emphasized that the XRPL network has already proven its scalability for digital assets and is now being positioned for real-world global adoption, spanning cross-border payments, trading, collateral management, and instant settlement. The new features will be activated after approval by independent community validators, following the network’s standard governance process.
The five amendments consolidated into this single release are: Confidential MPT, Batch Permission Delegation, Sponsored Fees and Reserves, Dynamic MPT, and an undisclosed fifth amendment. Full technical specifications are already available on Ripple’s open-source platform, with a series of in-depth security analyses and integration guides to follow in the coming weeks.
The upgrade introduces privacy-preserving balances with zero disclosure and flexible role-based access, allowing banks to segregate employee permissions and protect sensitive business data while maintaining compliance through designated gateways for auditors and regulators. This will enable secure institutional delivery-versus-payment (DvP) settlements, where sequences of up to eight transactions execute atomically on an all-or-nothing basis.
Additionally, the fee-sponsorship feature will allow institutions to cover network fees on behalf of clients, removing the need for end users to hold XRP. Combined with dynamic token parameter updates to adapt to evolving legal requirements, the upgrade positions XRPL as a primary infrastructure platform for compliant tokenized capital circulation.
