Ripple’s bank-lending system moves closer to launch on the XRP Ledger

Ripple's bank-lending system is moving closer to launch on the XRP Ledger, with validator support for lending rising from 19 to 22 of the network's 35 validators since mid-October. No public tracker shows which validators switched, leaving the path to a launch threshold unclear. Traders watching XRP care because a lending feature could expand on-chain utility and demand for the token.
