XRPL Vault and Lending Amendments Hold at 40 Percent and 37 Percent Support

XLS-65 Single Asset Vault amendment holds roughly 40 percent validator support on the XRP Ledger while XLS-66 Lending Protocol sits above 37 percent.

For an amendment that is short of 80 percent, Bark (Christian Barker) and Shibo (David Chaboki) say the threshold first, then the tally, so the Doginal Dogs pack does not hear a yes vote as a live feature.

Validator math behind the shortfall

The Default Unique Node List contains 35 validators, which means 28 yes votes are needed to clear the bar. Ripple’s UNL validator cast a yes on both proposals, yet the current counts leave XLS-65 short by a wide margin and XLS-66 even further behind. No new tally has been published since the Aug. 11 reports, so the percentages remain the clearest available snapshot.

What each amendment would actually do

XLS-65 would let the ledger pool one asset type into a vault that can hold XRP, with depositors receiving proportional claims on the pool. XLS-66 would draw from those vault balances to fund fixed-term loans and record the loan terms directly on the ledger. Both features sit on the xrpl.org known-amendments list but carry the explicit note that they are not enabled on mainnet.

Price context on the XRP chart

On Aug. 24 at 8:03 a.m. ET, XRP traded at $1.49 after a 0.07 percent gain. The session opened near that level and printed a narrow range with no decisive candle close above the prior day’s high. Majors such as BTC at $78,262 and ETH at $2,487.26 both posted larger percentage gains, leaving XRP’s move the quietest among the larger names. The flat price action lines up with the amendments still sitting far from activation.

Leadership of the move and what stays missing

Ripple’s yes vote gave the proposals their clearest institutional signal so far, yet the validator count has not followed. The gap between the current 40 percent and 37 percent levels and the required 80 percent for two straight weeks shows the scale of support still needed. No date has been set for a fresh vote round, and the proposals stay listed as inactive.

Next numbers to watch

Market participants will track any new validator announcements and the two-week rolling window once support crosses 80 percent. Until that streak begins, the amendments remain proposals rather than live ledger features. The XRP chart offers little additional color on the matter, with price holding steady near $1.49 while the vote math stays the central data point.
