On July 19, 2025, Ripple announced significant updates regarding the XRP cryptocurrency. This article covers new payment corridors, a CBDC pilot project, and the AMM launch.
Expansion of XRP Payment Corridors
Ripple has expanded XRP payment corridors to Brazil, Nigeria, and Indonesia, enhancing transaction liquidity and onboarding local banks and fintech companies. These corridors increase transaction volume on RippleNet and drive organic XRP demand.
CBDC Pilot Project with Middle Eastern Central Bank
A pilot project with a Middle Eastern central bank is underway to create a wholesale central bank digital currency (CBDC) running on a permissioned version of the XRP Ledger. The initiative aims to simplify interbank settlements and foreign exchange.
Launch of AMM on XRPL Mainnet
The Automated Market Maker (AMM) feature is now live on the XRP Ledger mainnet, allowing decentralized liquidity provisioning for XRP pairs. This adds a native DeFi infrastructure to the XRPL without needing external platforms.
Ripple's updates provide new opportunities for XRP and highlight its significance in financial markets. With the expansion of payment corridors and the introduction of new technologies, XRP continues to strengthen its position.
