XRP’s Milestone

As CryptoPotatoreporteda few days back, the total accounts on Ripple’s XRPL are close to reaching the 5 million mark. XRP balances held in these wallets equal 58.6 million, whereas XRP reserves stand at around 47.8 million

Another recent update worth mentioning is the integration of an automated market maker (AMM) and a clawback feature to XRPL

“XLS-30 will bring a native Automated Market Maker to the XRPL that integrates with the existing order book DEX to enable trading of digital assets in automated liquidity pools and enable developers to address a wider audience of DeFi stakeholders,” the announcement reads.

An important clarification is that users won’t be able to use the clawback feature to regain XRP tokens.

Some experts or analysts have already speculated on whether or not this development will trigger a price increase for Ripple’s native coin. CTO David Schwartzbelievesit could have a potential short-term impact, but, in the long term, it should reduce the volatility.
