Key Highlights: XRPL 2.5.0 unlocks DeFi capabilities with escrow, batching, and permissioned DEX tools XRP shows signs of renewed interest as on-chain activity surges Outset PR tracks protocol upgrades like XRPL 2.5.0 to shape market-aligned narratives The XRP Ledger has released version 2.5.0, marking its most substantial upgrade in recent years as it positions itself to compete more directly with programmable blockchains like Ethereum and Solana. The update introduces new features designed to support institutional adoption, regulatory compliance, and tokenization use cases—all critical in Ripple’s broader strategy to expand beyond cross-border payments into full-scale decentralized finance (DeFi) infrastructure. Source: RippleXDev Escrow for Tokenized Assets The upgrade has been introduced in the XRP Ledger blog. One of the most notable additions is XLS-85, which extends escrow functionality beyond XRP to trustline-based IOUs and multi-purpose tokens (MPTs). This allows developers to lock and release tokenized assets based on time or conditions, a capability widely used in Ethereum-based vesting contracts and stablecoin issuance. The enhancement could prove valuable for firms issuing digital dollars or bonds on-chain, offering more control over distribution schedules and compliance. Streamlined Execution with Batch Transactions XRPL now supports atomic batch transactions under XLS-56. The feature enables multiple operations—such as payouts, token swaps, and dApp logic—to be executed in a single on-ledger transaction. That structure is already commonplace in Ethereum smart contracts and Solana’s programs, where efficient transaction bundling is vital for throughput and user experience. For enterprises and infrastructure providers, the feature could reduce friction in settlement workflows, especially for multi-party payouts or staking reward systems. Tools for Regulatory Alignment In a move tailored to regulators and enterprise blockchain adopters, the new XLS-81 amendment introduces permissioned decentralized exchanges. The change lets developers gate access to market pairs and enforce trading restrictions, providing an on-chain compliance layer in contrast to…
