The XRP Ledger has introduced a new lending feature allowing XRP holders to lock their tokens in closed-ended vaults for fixed periods, potentially up to 30 years. While locked XRP remains part of the total supply and is not burned, it reduces the liquid supply available for trading. This mechanism supports institutional lending by enabling fixed-term, uncollateralized loans with potential interest returns for depositors. The impact on XRP's market liquidity depends on adoption levels, as currently, no large pools of XRP are locked due to inactive lending amendments.
