June Promises to Be a Turning Point for XRP

Table of Contents

As XRP faces selling pressure and investor uncertainty, Ripple is moving forward with a significant technical overhaul of the XRP Ledger (XRPL), set to redefine the network’s role in both decentralized finance and institutional finance on a global scale.

Despite XRP’s recent 5% price drop, many analysts — including X Finance Bull — see this not as a setback but as a setup for a major leap forward. “This isn’t just a dip — it’s preparation,” he emphasized.

Key Upcoming Enhancements

1. Token Escrows: One of the most anticipated features is XLS-85d, which introduces escrow support for issued tokens such as RLUSD, tokenized assets, and even meme coins. This allows assets to be securely locked under pre-set conditions, expanding XRPL’s smart contract capabilities and aligning it more closely with Ethereum-based DeFi platforms. It also supports Ripple’s broader strategy of real-world asset (RWA) tokenization.

2. Multi-Purpose Tokens (MPTs): Another important update is the launch of MPTs — a compact, flexible token standard optimized for interoperability. MPTs carry additional metadata while remaining tradable like regular tokens, enabling simpler and broader asset issuance. This innovation makes XRPL more attractive to developers and projects requiring cross-chain compatibility and versatile functionality.

3. Batch Transactions: Through XLS-56, XRPL will support batch transactions — up to eight in a single atomic operation. This enhances efficiency, lowers transaction costs, and paves the way for implementing atomic swaps, which are essential for both on-ledger and cross-chain systems.

Poised for a Breakthrough

All of these upgrades are scheduled for release in June 2025 with Rippled version 2.5.0. The update represents a foundational leap in XRPL’s architecture, aiming to attract developers, financial institutions, and large-scale projects to the XRP ecosystem.
