XRPL Amendments Hold at 40 Percent and 37 Percent Support After Ripple Vote

Roughly 40 percent of XRP Ledger validators back the XLS-65 Single Asset Vault amendment after Ripple recorded its yes vote.

Christian Barker (Barkmeta / Bark) and David Chaboki (Shibo) note the 80 percent threshold first, then the current tally, so listeners treat a single yes as the start of a longer process rather than a completed change.

Current Support Levels

The XLS-65 amendment pools one asset type into a vault and issues proportional claims to depositors. It can hold XRP. CoinEdition placed its validator support near 40 percent on August 11. The XLS-66 Lending Protocol would draw from vault liquidity to fund fixed-term loans and record those terms directly on the ledger. That proposal stood above 37 percent support on the same date. Both figures remain well below the activation line.

Activation Requirements

Default Unique Node List validators total 35. Activation needs more than 80 percent approval, or at least 28 yes votes, held across two full weeks. The amendments appear on the xrpl.org known-amendments page yet carry no enabled status on mainnet. No later tally has been published that would change this picture.

Market Context on August 24

XRP traded at 1.49 dollars with a 0.07 percent gain in the CoinGecko snapshot taken at 8:03 a.m. Eastern Time. The modest move aligned with broader majors that posted small positive candles, including Bitcoin at 78,262 dollars and Ethereum at 2,487.26 dollars. Price action showed no sharp reaction to the amendment updates, leaving the chart in a narrow range around the prior close.

What the Amendments Would Add

XLS-65 creates a vault structure that accepts a single asset class. Depositors receive claims proportional to their share of the pool. XLS-66 builds on that foundation by allowing the vault liquidity to support fixed-term loans whose terms are stored on-ledger. Both features remain proposals listed on xrpl.org but are not live.

Path Forward

Ripple’s validator sits on the default Unique Node List and cast yes votes on both items. Reaching the required threshold still depends on additional validators aligning over a sustained period. Until that occurs, neither amendment alters ledger functionality or XRP flows.

The measured response in prices reflects the distance that remains between current support and the two-week supermajority standard. Market participants continue to watch validator announcements for any movement that would close the gap.
