Ripple Highlighted Several Shortcomings

Ripple noted the on-chain activity on the network for Q3 to remain 9/30 which was 6/30 in the previous quarter. Trustilnes were over 10.15 million which dropped to around 9.11 million. In contrast to other factors decreasing, the number of holders saw a slight jump from over 4.2 million to 4.3 million.

The trustlines shows the drop of more than one million given various projects losing the development and interest since the quarter was relatively challenging. Clearly the number of unique crypto wallets increased in comparison to the previous quarter which indicates the increase in numbers of XRPL users.

The overall XRP holdings in various Ripple wallets have seen a significant decline. The report noted the number fell below 50 billion XRP tokens, which is about 50% of the overall token supply. Ripple proponents claimed the control over XRP Ledger by Ripple led to the conclusion of XRP ownership by the company, denied by the company though.

Ripple’s Upcoming XLS-20 Update

Further the report went on to talk about a lot of recent important issues and their impact—be it the crypto market downturn, crypto regulations, NFT market and a lot more. One such insight was about the upcoming update from Ripple, XLS-20.

Ripple developers announced XLS-20 in the first quarter of 2022 intending to add the NFT support to its XRPL. The update was expected to give the developers and creators access to minting, trading and burning of NFTs over the network.

Moreover, there will be some advance features of assets’ co-ownership, automatic royalties along with several others, which will not need the smart contracts. The update is anticipated to go live in the last quarter of this year.
