Voting on the XRP Ledger amendment
AMMs eliminate the need for order books, thereby reducing both the delay and transaction costs. The amendment will offer traders the opportunity to trade with the liquidity pool, thus making liquidity available irrespective of market conditions.
XRP price is $0.51 at the time of writing. The altcoin’s price is down nearly 2% on the day. XRP price declined over 10% in the past week.
