The XRP Ledger (XRPL) used by Ripple has partnered with Boundless, a zero-knowledge infrastructure provider, for bank-grade privacy on public blockchains. The integration aims to allow banks and asset managers to execute confidential yet compliant transactions directly on the network. The move positions XRPL in an increasingly competitive competition to deliver bank-level privacy on the public blockchain. Boundless CEO Shiv Shankar said the design aims to shield transaction details from public view while still allowing regulators to audit activity. The rollout highlights how privacy is becoming a feature of base-layer and tokenization infrastructure rather than an optional add-on.
