Ripple developers released XRPL 3.1.2 update, fixing vulnerabilities in the core Ripple server software, thereby enhancing network stability and security. This upgrade coincides with a surge in tokenized assets on the XRP Ledger, with the scale growing from $111 million in 2026 to $1.14 billion. New features such as the XLS-66 lending protocol and permissioned decentralized exchange (DEX) upgrades aim to unlock liquidity and attract institutional investors for tokenized asset trading.
