$XRP According to CoinDesk, a significant update went live on the XRP Ledger earlier this Friday following a validator vote that saw over 90% approval. This update introduces a clawback amendment, which allows Ripple's dollar-pegged stablecoin, RLUSD, to be floated and exchanged directly on the XRP Ledger's decentralized exchange (DEX). This development is expected to enhance liquidity and trading options, potentially boosting decentralized finance (DeFi) activities on the network.

The clawback feature enables token issuers to reclaim or 'claw back' tokens from users' wallets under specific conditions. This mechanism is typically employed for regulatory compliance, asset recovery in cases of fraud or illegal activities, or when tokens are mistakenly sent to unintended addresses. The recent update aims to improve the regulatory compliance of XRP Ledger’s Automated Market Maker (AMM) pools by allowing tokens with the clawback feature to be utilized. Additionally, it modifies the 'AMMDeposit' transaction type to prevent frozen tokens from being deposited into the AMM.
