Ripple has signaled that asset managers and commercial projects are preparing to use Batch V1.1, a rebuilt transaction feature on the XRP Ledger that can package up to eight linked transactions into a single operation. The amendment began its 14-day activation countdown on September 15 at 14:06:41 UTC, with a possible mainnet activation shortly after the same time on September 29, provided more than 80% of trusted validators maintain support.
As of September 20, 30 of 35 tracked validators, or roughly 85%, supported Batch V1.1, above the required 28-vote threshold. The feature’s atomic “All or Nothing” mode is central to delivery-versus-payment workflows, where an asset transfer and payment must either settle together or not at all. “We’ll be sharing more once the feature is live, including work with key asset managers,” said Ayo Akinyele, head of engineering at RippleX. “Batch allows multiple transactions to be grouped together so they either all execute or none do.”
The current amendment follows the withdrawal of the original Batch V1.0 after researchers identified a critical signature-validation flaw in February. Validators were advised to withdraw support, and the affected amendment was disabled before activation. Developers rebuilt the feature as Batch V1.1 with tightened authorization checks, additional security reviews, and fixes for other signing and authorization issues. The replacement shipped with xrpld version 3.3.0 on August 6, while xrpld 3.4.0 later introduced separate lending and cleanup amendments.
Ripple’s focus on Batch arrives amid growing institutional tokenization on the XRP Ledger. JPMorgan, Mastercard, Ondo Finance and Ripple previously participated in a tokenized U.S. Treasury redemption test using XRPL, and Aviva Investors launched a tokenized fund share class on XRPL in July. Ripple has also mentioned RLUSD as a possible cash leg for atomic delivery-versus-payment settlement. The XLS-56 specification defines Batch as containing between two and eight inner transactions and lists trustless multi-account swaps, platform fees and flash-loan structures among potential uses.
Though Ripple has not publicly named the asset managers or provided production timelines, the broader context adds pressure: the value of tokenized real-world assets surpassed $43 billion earlier this year. For XRP Ledger, the next test will be whether asset managers actually use atomic batching for production settlement rather than treating it as another protocol capability.
