Ripple in a tweet mentioned a new proposal on the XRPL named Hooks. It stated that Hooks is a proposal that will add smart contract like functionality to the XRP ledger. It will be a layer one custom code deployed in order to influence the behavior and flow of transactions.
It added that Hooks are small yet efficient pieces of code defined on an XRPL account which will allow logic before and/or after XRPL transactions.
As XRPL announced its new Hooks proposal, crypto whales seem to pick a pace in accumulating more XRP tokens.
