One transaction can authenticate thousands of datasets, leaving fee burn tiny even as institutional-style usage scales.
- The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) has tested a prototype system on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) for authenticating official statistics using cryptographic fingerprints and Merkle trees.
- While the system demonstrates an institutional-use case for XRPL, its batching mechanism significantly limits the XRP fee burn, even as data volume scales.
- The article suggests that substantial XRP demand would require sustained Mainnet usage, new account creation, or activity beyond this specific prototype, tempering expectations of a supply squeeze.
