XRP Ledger AMM Amendment Reaches 80% Validator Consensus

The XRP Ledger’s automated market maker amendment has reached 80% validator consensus, opening the activation window for native AMM functionality on the network. The milestone moves XRPL closer to adding a builtin liquidity layer that could support decentralized trading and marketmaking without relying entirely on external infrastructure. However, the feature is not active yet and still must pass the required holding period before enablement. AMMs use liquidity pools instead of traditional order books, and they are a core part of decentralized finance on other blockchains. For XRPL, native AMM support could expand what developers and users can do on the ledger, which has historically been better known for payments and settlement. The article notes that this is not a price forecast for XRP. While protocol upgrades can influence sentiment, market performance still depends on broader conditions, including liquidity, regulation, and exchange activity.
