Ripple's planned institutional lending system for the XRP Ledger is edging closer to activation as validator backing gains momentum. Support among the ledger's 35 validators increased from 19 to 22 since mid-October, according to CoinDesk, though no public tracker reveals which validators changed their positions.[3]

The planned capabilities would pave the way for banks to borrow, lend, and generate yield on digital assets, marking a significant step toward turning the XRP Ledger into a full-scale financial infrastructure network, Whale Insider reported.[1]

The framework relies on two key amendments: LendingProtocol, which reached 22 validator votes, and SingleAssetVault, which secured 23 votes based on Nov. 11 figures, according to Analytics Insight. To activate on the network, both amendments must reach at least 29 approvals from the XRP Ledger's 35 default-list validators and sustain that threshold for two consecutive weeks.[2]
