XRP Ledger is proposing a privacy amendment called Confidential Transfers to encrypt balances and payment amounts for institutional Multi-Purpose Token (MPT) transfers, while keeping account and token types visible. This upgrade targets the growing market of over $530 million in tokenized assets outside Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin on the ledger.
