Will this amendment immediately increase XRP's price?
The amendment is a proposal; price impact depends on validator approval and subsequent institutional adoption. It may boost short-term sentiment but sustained price growth requires implementation and usage.
How does this compare to Ethereum's RWA tokenization efforts?
Ethereum currently leads in RWA tokenization, but XRPL's amendment offers native privacy and compliance features that could attract regulated institutions looking for an alternative.
What happens if the amendment is rejected?
XRP's price may not react negatively unless expectations were high. The network would continue operating without encrypted balances, potentially losing a competitive edge in the institutional RWA market.
