DEEP FREEZE EMPOWERS XRPL COMPLIANCE WITH INSTITUTIONAL TOKEN CONTROL
▪️ Deep Freeze enhances institutional control over issued tokens on XRPL for compliance and fraud prevention.
▪️ It introduces a protocol-level freeze, restricting all outgoing token transactions from targeted accounts.
▪️ The update is crucial for stablecoin issuers and institutions issuing tokenized real-world assets.
The XRP Ledger (XRPL) has formally activated Deep Freeze, a new tool designed to push the compliance and security standards for tokens issued on the blockchain to the next level.
Although XRP itself does not change, Deep Freeze provides protocol-level granularity in terms of controlling issued assets, allowing issuers to directly impose constraints on accounts.
The amendment, designated as XLS-77d, represents a significant move towards supporting institutional-quality asset management found in traditional finance.
Deep Freeze places XRPL in a strong position as a viable alternative for stablecoin issuers and financial institutions for secure and compliant infrastructure, says fintech analyst Clara Renner.
The amendment was voted into implementation using XRPL’s decentralized governance mechanism, showcasing the adaptability of the network to real-world security and regulation requirements.

Institutional Adoption Grows With XRPL Upgrade
Earlier, issuers in the XRPL utilized trustline freezes that only inhibited new transactions.
It was not a perfect approach, as users could still send held assets, and freezes had to be applied individually.
Deep Freeze immobilizes an entire account’s capacity to move released assets, effectively halting all outgoing token transactions.
This is critical for legal holds, fraud prevention, or sanctions enforcement.
Unlike centralized blockchains, XRPL’s approach preserves visibility and decentralized integrity, a dual advantage for transparency and control.
Deep Freeze automates compliance processes for institutions handling bulk token issuance.
This has become especially relevant for entities like Ripple, Braza Bank, and Societe Generale Forge, which use XRPL to issue stablecoins.
New XRPL Feature Appeals to Institutions
Deep Freeze is not just a technical improvement—it’s a strategic enhancement for XRPL’s institutional appeal.
Central banks and asset managers can now enforce regulatory mandates without needing third-party intervention.
As compliance becomes a top priority, features like Deep Freeze should accelerate adoption by major stablecoin issuers like Circle.

BRICS: INDIA AGREES TO DROP TARIFFS ON THE US
According to US President Donald Trump, BRICS member India has agreed to drop its tariffs on the US. It was reported on Monday that India offered the T------------------n a zero-for-zero tradeoff for tariffs on auto parts, steel, and pharmaceuticals.
Speaking at the Oval Office today, Trump credited himself as the reason behind India agreeing to eliminate tariffs on US goods. “They’ve already agreed. They would have never done that for anybody else but me,” Trump said in a media scrum.
The two countries are engaged in ongoing talks of a new trade deal following the United States’ imposition of 10% sweeping trade tariffs on all countries. US President Donald Trump introduced the plan in an effort to balance trade, with the focus being on new agreements that would fulfill this charge.
Representation from India has not confirmed Trump’s claim that they’ve agreed to slash all tariffs on US goods. The two countries remain in talks, according to Trump. Also on Tuesday, India and the United Kingdom came to terms on a new free trade agreement.
Indeed, the deal had been reached after three years of negotiations. The deal will reportedly make it much easier for the UK-based company to export various goods, including automobiles. Moreover, it will cut taxes placed on India’s clothing exports, the BBC reported.
Furthermore, Trump says that the US is “open for business” for deals with several countries on tariff talks. However, one country not included is India’s BRICS partner, China. China and the US remain in heated discussion over tariffs between both countries, including an over 140% tariff on the Asian country. Trump said today that his administration “could sign 25 deals right now” on trade, although none have been finalized by both sides yet, including India.

US TREASURY REPORT ON STABLECOINS MULLS UPSIDE OF OFFERING INTEREST
A presentation last week to the US Treasury’s Borrowing Advisory Committee (TBAC) explored the impact of stablecoins on the demand for short term Treasuries. One topic was mentioned repeatedly – the potential for stablecoins to offer interest.
The last iteration of the Senate’s stablecoin bill, the GENIUS Act, introduced a clause that banned the payment of stablecoin interest before receiving a positive vote by the Senate Banking Committee.
According to the minutes of the TBAC meeting, “There was robust discussion concerning the potential implications of interest bearing stablecoins versus non-interest bearing stablecoins, and the extent to which growth in stablecoins would result in net new demand for Treasury securities rather than a reallocation of demand from banks and money market mutual funds.”
The President’s Executive Order on digital assets made clear the intention to promote the use of US dollar stablecoins beyond US borders. White House AI and crypto czar David Sacks was very clear that the goal is to increase demand for US Treasuries,
which helps to lower the cost of servicing the United States’ massive debt.
The TBAC stablecoin report
The TBAC report used a figure from Standard Chartered research that estimates stablecoins will grow to $2 trillion by 2028 assuming stablecoins don’t pay interest. As an aside, Citi also recently published forecasts. The mid-April capitalization of stablecoins was $234 billion, which accounts for approximately $120 billion investment in short-dated Treasuries. Combining that with Standard Chartered’s figure, the report estimates that stablecoin investment in Treasuries will expand to $1 trillion by 2028.
If stablecoins were to offer interest, the figure could be quite a bit higher, although no forecast was provided. That would account for a significant slice of the short term Treasury Bill market, which currently has a $6.4 trillion issuance.
A key reason why most global stablecoin regulation has not supported the payment of interest is due to concerns that bank deposits might shift to stablecoins, potentially reducing available credit from banks or making credit more expensive. The TBAC report states that transactional demand deposits at banks totaling $6.6 trillion are most “at risk” from stablecoins.
However, the presentation also explored opportunities for banks and financial institutions, including issuing stablecoins and managing reserves.

Apart from delving into interest-bearing stablecoins, two other issues were floated:
- Allowing stablecoin issuers access to the Federal Reserve
- Allowing access to deposit insurance
This would help reduce the impact of de-peg events.
Readers of the TBAC report might expect to see efforts to remove the interest ban from the GENIUS Act. However, after this TBAC meeting, several pro-crypto D-------s withdrew support for the latest version of the GENIUS Act despite it still including the yield ban.
Backtracking on the yield clause could further delay the progress of the stablecoin bill.

BREAKING: NEW HAMPSHIRE BECOMES FIRST U.S. STATE TO OFFICIALLY HOLD BITCOIN IN STATE RESERVES
In a major first for the United States, New Hampshire has passed a new law allowing the state to hold Bitcoin as part of its financial reserves. The bill, known as HB 302, was signed into law on May 6, 2025, by the state’s Governor. This makes New Hampshire the first state in the nation to create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Fund.
The law gives the state’s Treasurer the power to buy Bitcoin and other major digital assets directly or through a regulated investment product like an exchange-traded product (ETP). However, there’s a limit — the state can only hold up to 5% of its total funds in Bitcoin to balance risk.
To ensure safety, the law requires all digital assets to be stored under strict U.S.-regulated custody, either in state-controlled wallets or with approved custodians. The new policy will officially take effect 60 days after its signing.
The bill was inspired by a model created by the nonprofit group Satoshi Action, which works to educate lawmakers about Bitcoin and digital assets. Dennis Porter, the group’s CEO, said this is more than just a bill — it’s the start of a movement. “New Hampshire didn’t just pass a bill; it sparked a movement,” Porter said.
Several important figures helped make this happen, including Rep. Keith Ammon, an early Bitcoin supporter, Majority Leader Jason Osborne, and the New Hampshire Blockchain Council.
