XRP Ledger Revives Scrapped Features in Bid to Attract Institutional Capital
The XRP Ledger is gearing up to release a major software update next week that will revive two previously scrapped protocol features over security concerns, along with three new amendments aimed at attracting institutional capital by enhancing privacy and simplifying user onboarding.
Jazzi Cooper, head of product at RippleX, confirmed the xrpld 3.3.0 release will include five proposed amendments: Confidential MPT, Batch, Permission Delegation, Sponsored Fees and Reserves, and Dynamic MPT.
The upgrade follows the activation of fixCleanup3_2_0 on July 29, which secured support from 30 out of 35 participating trusted validators, or 85.71%, according to XRPScan data.
Two of the five amendments have a checkered history: Batch, which was previously rejected due to a vulnerability that allowed an attacker to execute transactions from any account without holding its keys; and Permission Delegation, which was disabled in September 2025 after being found vulnerable to a bug that could drain an account's balance.
The other three proposals are new to the amendment pipeline. Confidential MPT would add native privacy features for Multi-Purpose Tokens on the XRP Ledger using elliptic-curve encryption and zero-knowledge proofs. Sponsored Fees and Reserves would allow banks, issuers, or platforms to cover transaction fees and account reserves for users.
Dynamic MPT would let issuers modify selected token properties after issuance without requiring a full migration to a new token.
