The XRP Ledger has announced a major update introducing a new authorization system designed for enterprise users. This system aims to enhance security and compliance, making the platform more attractive to institutional clients. The update is part of a broader strategy to position XRP as a key player in traditional finance.

In related news, Ripple Prime is expanding into the leveraged-ETF financing market, which involves total-return swaps. This market is valued at $256 billion and includes 593 funds, according to CryptoNews. The move is expected to bring new fee opportunities and potentially reduce counterparty risks for institutional investors.

The development is corroborated by both Bitcoin Sistemi and CryptoNews, though they emphasize different aspects. Bitcoin Sistemi focuses on the technical features of the authorization system, while CryptoNews highlights the financial implications of Ripple Prime's entry into the ETF financing market.

The XRP Ledger's update and Ripple's strategic moves come at a time when the overall crypto market is relatively flat, with a total market cap of $2.87 trillion. Despite the flat market, Bitcoin has seen a slight 0.30% increase in the last 24 hours. The Fear & Greed Index stands at 61, indicating a 'Greed' sentiment among investors.

XRP's price is currently $1.39, down 0.92% in the last 24 hours and 7.02% over the past week. The market cap of XRP is $87.95 billion. The new authorization system and Ripple's market expansion could influence XRP's price and trading volume in the coming weeks.
