   XRP Ledger adds new controls for banks, stablecoins and tokenized funds

   The PermissionDelegationV1_1 amendment activated on Oct. 8, letting account owners delegate scoped powers such as payments and compliance approvals to separate accounts without sharing primary keys; users are warned not to delegate PaymentBurn until a related fix activates, and a separate server vote-counting patch remains under review.

   State after update: PermissionDelegationV1_1 activated on Oct. 8, 2026 and is live; the PaymentBurn fix had 27/35 validator votes on Friday, short of the 29 needed to start the two-week countdown, so the warning remains in effect.
