XRP Ledger introduces Boundless, enabling public blockchains to achieve bank-grade privacy and compliant transactions.

According to Mars Finance, XRP Ledger announced its integration with Boundless, a zero-knowledge infrastructure provider, to support banks and asset management institutions in executing transactions on public blockchains that balance privacy and compliance. The solution reportedly hides sensitive information such as transaction size, frequency, and counterparties, while allowing regulatory audits through selective disclosure and role-based access control, thus striking a balance between privacy and compliance. This integration will support institutional-grade scenarios such as cross-border B2B payments, fund and capital management, over-the-counter (OTC) trading, tokenized asset issuance, and on-chain trading and lending. Industry insiders believe that the conflict between public blockchain transparency and privacy requirements has been a significant obstacle to institutional adoption, and this solution aims to reduce the so-called "transparency tax." Meanwhile, competition in the privacy arena continues to intensify. Technologies including zero-knowledge proofs (ZK) and fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) are accelerating their adoption, pushing privacy capabilities from optional features to underlying infrastructure. Data shows that the tokenized asset market has reached approximately $29.25 billion, with a monthly growth of approximately 7.9%.
