XRP Ledger Introduces Boundless to Enable Bank-Grade Privacy and Compliant Transactions on Public Chains

Odaily News XRP Ledger has announced the integration of zero-knowledge infrastructure provider Boundless to support banks and asset management institutions in executing transactions that combine privacy protection with compliance on public chains.

According to the introduction, this solution can conceal sensitive information such as transaction size, frequency, and counterparties, while still allowing regulators to conduct audits through selective disclosure and role-based access control, thereby striking a balance between privacy and compliance.

This integration will support institutional-grade scenarios including cross-border B2B payments, fund and capital management, over-the-counter (OTC) trading, tokenized asset issuance, and on-chain trading and lending. Industry insiders believe that the conflict between public chain transparency and privacy needs has been a significant barrier to institutional adoption, and this solution aims to reduce the so-called "transparency tax."

Meanwhile, competition in the privacy track continues to intensify. Technological approaches including zero-knowledge proofs (ZK) and fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) are accelerating their implementation, driving privacy capabilities from optional features to underlying infrastructure. Data shows that the tokenized asset market size has reached approximately $29.25 billion, with a monthly increase of about 7.9%. (Cointelegraph)
