JUST IN: The XRP Ledger has introduced a permissioned DEX environment designed for regulated institutions
.
Unlike open DeFi trading platforms, this model allows only verified participants to access specific liquidity pools. The goal is to combine blockchain efficiency with compliance requirements such as KYC and AML something traditional financial firms typically require before interacting with on-chain markets.
The public XRPL DEX remains unchanged, but this additional layer creates a controlled infrastructure where institutions can operate without exposing themselves to regulatory uncertainty.
In simple terms, it’s not replacing decentralization it’s adding a compliant gateway for institutional participation
.
This shows how blockchain networks are evolving from purely retail-driven ecosystems toward hybrid finance structures where traditional finance and decentralized systems can operate together.
