XRP News Today: RippleX Launches XLS-85 Token Escrow on XRPL Mainnet

The post XRP News Today: RippleX Launches XLS-85 Token Escrow on XRPL Mainnet appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

RippleX, the development team behind the XRP Ledger, has launched Token Escrow (XLS-85) on the XRPL mainnet. This update expands the escrow feature beyond XRP. 

Now, trustline-based tokens and Multi-Purpose Tokens can also be locked on-chain, supporting stablecoins, real-world assets, and institutional transactions.

XRPL Token Escrow XLS-85 Goes Live on Mainnet

According to the RippleX developer update, Token Escrow (XLS-85) is now active on the XRP Ledger Mainnet. This upgrade extends the network’s built-in escrow system, previously limited to XRP, to cover Trustline-based tokens and Multi-Purpose Tokens.

Until now, the native escrow feature on the XRP Ledger was limited to XRP itself. Projects that wanted to lock stablecoins or tokenized assets had to rely on custom solutions or third-party tools. 

With XLS-85 now live, any supported token on the network can be securely placed into escrow directly at the protocol level. This includes stablecoins such as RLUSD, tokenized real-world assets like bonds or gold, and other on-ledger digital tokens.

What the Upgrade Changes for XRPL Users

With XLS-85, escrow is now a built-in feature for almost all assets issued on the XRPL, making token management simpler and more secure. Because of this, the upgrade supports several important use cases.

• First is secure vesting and grants, where teams can schedule token releases or conditional distributions.
• Second is automated transactions, including peer-to-peer token swaps and conditional payments.
• Third is institutional finance, where escrow can support treasury controls, collateral locks, and automated settlements. 
• Fourth is digital rights and real-world assets, such as tokenized licenses and content unlock systems.

Owner Reserve Requirement Tie Up XRP Supply

The timing of this upgrade is notable. As traditional financial players increasingly explore tokenized bonds, equities, and other assets, the ability to secure them with built-in escrow functionality strengthens the XRPL’s position in institutional DeFi.

Each escrowed real-world asset requires an owner reserve of 0.2 XRP to remain on the ledger.

With XLS-85 now active, the XRP Ledger moves closer to becoming a more flexible and enterprise-ready blockchain.
