XRP holders that provide liquidity to AMMs can earn passive income
As the XRPLedger sees approval of the AMM amendment, social media platforms like X are flooded with posts claiming that XRP holders can earn passive income without ever selling their holdings. The amendment was passed with 91.43% consensus and AMMs have not been activated on the Ledger, at the time of writing.
AMMs will likely arrive on the XRPLedger by March 22, 20:10 UTC, according to information from XRPscan.
XRPLedger Amendment for AMMs passed
An XRPLedger Validator on X explained that AMMs do not provide passive income for holding XRP.
The XRP Ledger AMM is in activation and i see a ton of posts claiming passive income for XRP holders after activation and that you never need to sell your XRP. They are taking advantage of the inexperience of community members with DeFi.
