Ripple’s developer team has freshly introduced Confidential Multi-Purpose Tokens (CMPTs), pushing for more privacy-focused features on the XRP Ledger. These MPTs enable masking of crypto account balances & transaction amounts. This keeps the total supply publicly verifiable, thanks to EC-ElGamal encryption & zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs.
Deciphering XRP’s New Privacy Features
BankXRP, a popular XRP community voice, has also named additional features with “full compatibility with XLS-33, issuer controls, and auditability preserved.” With this new upgrade going live on the XRP Ledger, amounts & account balances won’t be easily accessible to everyone, while sender & receiver addresses are visible as usual.
Some XRP Army members cheered this move as the “only logical option” on Crypto Twitter, otherwise known as X. Doubtlessly, this is absorbed as a crucial institutional move for Ripple’s XRP chain due to high appeal to both RWA tokenization projects & traditional banks.
The 2026 privacy chain narrative plays a significant part in this upgrade as merchants are able to send private transactions without exposing sensitive data on-chain. For competitive reasons, this could turn out to be more useful than a traditional public blockchain ledger, while keeping the legal compliance & cost efficiency in-tact.

People Also Ask:
What is this new XRP chain upgrade all about? Ripple Research just introduced Confidential Multi-Purpose Tokens (MPTs) on the XRP Ledger. This lets certain token balances and transfer amounts stay hidden while everything else (like total supply) stays public & verifiable.
What does “partly private” actually mean? It’s not full privacy like some coins. You can hide how much someone holds or sends, but the total amount of tokens issued stays visible to everyone. Issuers (the people who created the token) can still check and audit when needed.
How does the privacy work? It uses cool math tricks: EC-ElGamal encryption plus zero-knowledge proofs. This hides the details without breaking the ledger. It works perfectly with existing XRPL features (like XLS-33) so nothing breaks on a technical scale.
