The XRP Ledger’s batched fix update has passed its 80% vote requirement and is expected to activate within days, with batch transactions, zero-knowledge privacy features and an institutional lending protocol still moving through the amendment process. XRP has dipped as low as $1.01 during the current pullback, while chart analysts debate whether the token has already found its bottom.
The XRP Ledger’s batched fix update has already passed its 80% vote requirement and is expected to go live within days. Several larger amendments remain under discussion.
What the amendment queue holds
Batch transactions would bundle up to eight transactions into a single atomic action, and privacy features built on zero-knowledge proofs would enable confidential transfers. Sponsored fees and reserves would let platforms cover the XRP wallet creation cost for new users, while permission delegation would allow specific account permissions without full custody transfer.
Two further features are drawing particular attention: a Single Asset Vault that would let users pool XRP, RLUSD or other tokens, plus a companion lending protocol enabling fixed-term, uncollateralized loans intended for institutional use.
Ripple bundles custody and brokerage into one platform
Ripple has separately rebranded its core platform to bundle custody, payments, stablecoins, treasury management and prime brokerage, an expansion built on roughly $2.45 billion in 2025 acquisitions. Those deals included Hidden Road for $1.25 billion and GTreasury for approximately $1 billion.
The platform now handles custody for over 1 million wallets and had processed more than $100 billion in total transaction volume by March 2026. Crypto Briefing noted the expansion does not directly change the supply, demand or utility mechanics of XRP as a token.
Exchange shutdowns turn attention to the ledger’s DEX
Bitmart became the second crypto exchange to shut down in less than a week, following BitMEX’s earlier announcement. Because centralized venues keep closing, some analysts point to the XRP Ledger’s built-in decentralized exchange as a safeguard for token holders, since it operates independently of any single platform.
XRP trades near $1.10 as analysts weigh a bottom
XRP trades near $1.10 as chart analysts debate whether the token has already found its bottom. The coin posted a 24-hour trading volume of $577,045,061 per CoinGecko data, with prices up 0.03% over the past day.
Analyst LongTermHold3r highlighted the weekly chart’s relationship with the 200 SMA, which the analyst called a major reversal zone. The MACD shows a bullish divergence according to that analysis, while RSI has moved sideways near oversold territory, a pattern often tied to fading seller pressure.
Additional support comes from the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level and the support line of a falling wedge pattern, a combination LongTermHold3r described as a very strong confluence zone.
ChartNerdTA read the setup differently, writing that lower downside targets remain possible given ongoing macro pressure. That analyst pointed to the Federal Reserve’s hawkish hold and stronger than expected economic data that forced investors to price out further rate cuts, triggering a liquidity crunch.
