The post Permissioned DEX Goes Live on XRPL: Top Features to Know! appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News Ripple is pushing the XRP Ledger into a new phase, designed for big players in finance! The company has officially launched a Permissioned Decentralized Exchange (DEX) on the XRPL, giving regulated institutions a way to access DeFi without sacrificing compliance. It’s a major shift aimed at solving one of the biggest hurdles in crypto adoption: how to bring institutions into decentralized systems while still keeping regulators happy. The news was spotlighted by SBI Group CEO Yoshitaka Kitao, who shared on X: “Introducing Permissioned DEX on the XRP Ledger: Unlocking Institutional Access to DeFi.” Here are the deets to know. What’s New About This DEX? Unlike open DEX platforms anyone can access, this one is permissioned – meaning only approved users can trade. Institutions are added to an allowlist, and they can only trade with others in the same group, known as a permissioned domain. But here’s the twist: even though it’s permissioned, it still supports permissionless assets like XRP, stablecoins, or wrapped crypto. That’s a big win for usability. Each permissioned DEX runs independently within the XRPL and can host unlimited trading pairs. The structure gives financial institutions a way to use decentralized tech while sticking to strict compliance requirements. Introducing Permissioned DEX on the XRP Ledger: Unlocking Institutional Access to DeFi https://t.co/SFYeEB4dHW — 北尾吉孝 (@yoshitaka_kitao) June 26, 2025 Ripple’s Pitch to Institutions Ripple says this move is all about unlocking real-world use of DeFi in a way that’s scalable and compliant. In their press release, they explained that institutions can now “trade or move value on the XRPL Decentralized Exchange (DEX) without compromising on compliance, scalability, or decentralization.” Ripple is eyeing serious use cases like: FX swaps between stablecoins and fiat Cross-border B2B payments Payroll and contractor payouts Corporate treasury management Why This Matters Yes, it might sound boring at first glance. But for years, traditional finance has stayed away from DeFi – mostly because of compliance risks. Ripple’s Permissioned DEX is a direct answer to that, giving institutions a space that feels familiar but still uses decentralized rails. And because it’s built on the XRP Ledger, trades are low-cost, fast, and don’t rely on intermediaries. It’s a strong case for why institutional DeFi might finally be ready to take off and Ripple clearly wants to lead that charge. Definitely a story worth following.
