The newly formed XRP Ledger Foundation has teased a high-level roadmap, highlighting its vision to foster growth, security, and inclusivity in the XRPL ecosystem.
Commentator Crypto Eri (@sentosumosaba) shared via X, “The first post from the new XRP Ledger Foundation marks a milestone. This new entity is incorporated in France, and its founding members include XRPL Commons, XRPL Labs, Ripple, and XAO DAO.” The announcement follows the restructuring of the original XRP Ledger Foundation, signaling a fresh chapter in the ledger’s global adoption strategy.
The official profile of the new foundation, XRP Ledger Foundation (Official) (@XRPLF), wrote its first message on X: “This is the first tweet from the new XRPL Foundation. As shared by board members at the latest XRPL Town Hall, we’ve been working hard behind the scenes. Expect to hear more from us—including our first committees, a high-level roadmap, and a new website launching in April.”
XRPL Labs (@XRPLLabs) commented via X: “XRPL Labs is proud to be a founding member of the new XRP Ledger Foundation. It’s been a long road—excited for what’s ahead.”
The New XRP Ledger Foundation
Incorporated in France, the foundation is expected to benefit from the country’s regulatory clarity around blockchain initiatives, a detail that sets it apart from its predecessor. Observers say that the inclusion of XRPL Commons, XRPL Labs, Ripple, and XAO DAO in its founding roster hints at a balanced governance model designed to represent developers, businesses, and users.
The organization’s emergence follows persistent calls within the community for improved engagement and broader functionality, as the ledger—originally launched in 2012—has, at times, struggled to achieve the widespread impact many had anticipated. Frustrations related to decentralized fundraising tools, among other features, appear to have served as catalysts for this new era of collaboration.
The updated foundation structure also assumes responsibility for maintaining the Unique Node List (UNL), a key component in the consensus mechanism.
Last year, Ripple teased the progress of the newly formed organization: “Great discussions recently on the evolution of the XRPL Foundation into an entity that centers on collaboration, transparency and serving the broader needs of the XRP Ledger community – sharing initial plans built alongside XRPL Labs, XRPL Commons, the current XRPLF and more.”
This development arrives during a period of renewed momentum in the ecosystem, fueled by notable efforts such as Ripple’s recent $1.25 billion acquisition of prime brokerage Hidden Road and the launch of the RLUSD stablecoin earlier this year.
At press time, XRP traded at $2.15.
