In a latest post on X, Ripple revealed that it is introducing a new metadata standard for XRP ledger’s (XRPL) multipurpose tokens to make it easier to discover, rank, and integrate. Ripple aims to expand its institutional decentralized finance (DeFi) on the XRPL by 2025.

The flexible metafield data lacks structured fields like a currency code, which led to difficulties in sorting, identifying, and comparing tokens.
The new scheme proposed by Ripple aims to enhance the discoverability and rankability of MPTs, providing users and developers with a better experience. The outlined metadata standards by Ripple are:
