The XRP Ledger's BatchV1_1 amendment currently holds 68.57% support from validators, short of the required 80% needed to start its two-week activation countdown. This update allows bundling up to eight transactions into one, enabling new use cases like atomic swaps and coordinated multi-account actions.
