XRP Ledger has announced its integration with zero-knowledge infrastructure provider Boundless to facilitate privacy-protected and compliant transactions on public blockchains. According to Odaily, this solution aims to conceal sensitive information such as transaction size, frequency, and counterparties while allowing regulatory audits through selective disclosure and role-based access control, striking a balance between privacy and compliance.
The integration will support institutional-level scenarios, including cross-border B2B payments, fund and capital management, over-the-counter (OTC) trading, tokenized asset issuance, and on-chain trading and lending. Industry experts believe that the conflict between blockchain transparency and privacy needs has been a significant barrier to institutional adoption, and this solution seeks to mitigate the so-called "transparency tax."
Meanwhile, competition in the privacy sector is intensifying. Technologies such as zero-knowledge proofs (ZK) and fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) are rapidly advancing, shifting privacy capabilities from optional features to foundational infrastructure. Data indicates that the tokenized asset market has reached approximately $29.25 billion, with a monthly growth rate of about 7.9%.
