Updated: Jan 11 2026- Liquidity Target Set: The XRPL has established a liquidity target of 11,557,546 XRP, approximately $24.1 million, which reflects market balance in on-chain trading while laying the groundwork for the expansion of decentralized finance (DeFi) activities.
- Active Liquidity Pools: Currently, XRPL's Automated Market Maker (AMM) supports 24,643 active liquidity pools, encompassing 21,296 XRP trading pairs and 15,733 unique tokens, indicating broad market participation and potential for capital efficiency improvements.
- Stability and Opportunities: Since Q3 2025, liquidity levels have remained stable within a range of 11.3 million to 12.8 million XRP, with developers viewing this stability as a sign of market balance and an opportunity to unlock more value from existing liquidity.
- Protocol Upgrade Plans: Proposals under review aim to strengthen the AMM structure, particularly by adding support for single-sided liquidity provision, which is expected to lower entry barriers and increase pool depth, thereby enhancing the complexity of DeFi applications.
