Ripple has announced four significant infrastructure upgrades aimed at enhancing global financial on-chain adoption. The upgrades focus on real-time cross-border payments, custody, tokenization, and prime brokerage services utilizing XRP and RLUSD on the XRP Ledger (XRPL). This initiative is part of Ripple's strategy to build a unified infrastructure that supports the growth of XRP's liquidity and tokenized assets. The company has invested nearly $4 billion in acquisitions and new market expansions to bolster institutional applications, including DATS and ETFs. Additionally, developers are investigating the potential for native staking on the XRP Ledger, further enhancing its capabilities and appeal to institutional investors.
