2. Yoshitaka Kitao’s tweet on XRP Ledger

Yoshitaka Kitao, president of SBI Holdings, shared an article on the future development of the Ripple’s XRP Ledger (XRPL), a decentralised cryptographic ledger, and the need for crypto regulation in the US to support technology innovators.

The article noted that the recently launched XRPL v1.6 features upgrades such as negative Unique Node List (UNL) code to improve the robustness of the network and hardened validations to allow the servers to identify inadvertent misconfiguration of validators.

The advantages of the new XRPL include quick transaction time, low cost and high volumes of transactions, as well as support for a diverse range of functionalities such as time locks, escrows and multi-sign, the article highlighted.
