How XRPL's lending design would work
The $XRP Ledger's XLS-65 and XLS-66 specifications describe building blocks for lending directly on the network.
XLS-65 defines a vault that pools a single asset from depositors. XLS-66 describes how pooled funds could support fixed-term loans, with repayment schedules recorded on the ledger.
According to the specifications, these loans are uncollateralized at the protocol level. Assessing a borrower's ability to repay and arranging legal protections happen outside the ledger. Recording a loan on-chain does not remove credit risk.
This design could give institutions another way to arrange credit using XRPL assets. It does not mean that simply holding XRP earns interest, or that every loan must use XRP.
Before considering any lending product, check whether the required amendments are enabled, who manages the pool, how withdrawals work, and who bears losses if a borrower defaults.
