The XRP Ledger's proposed lending feature, which would allow credit against tokenized assets, remains inactive with only about 20% validator support, well below the 80% threshold needed for activation. This feature includes single-asset vaults and a lending protocol to manage loans on the ledger, but credit decisions would still be made off-ledger by regulated institutions. The slow progress is seen as a safeguard to prevent risky changes, and if approved, it would add crucial credit infrastructure to the XRP tokenization ecosystem. Investors should watch for further developments as this could significantly enhance the utility of tokenized real-world assets on the XRP Ledger.
