XRP investors<\/a> may be looking at one of the most important upgrades yet according to a prominent developer in the community. This was revealed by the lead developer of one of the major projects building on the XRP Ledger, hinting that a MasterCard integration may be coming.<\/p>\n In a post that was shared on X (formerly Twitter), Xumm Wallet<\/a> lead developer Wietse Wind excitedly announced<\/a> to the community that self-custody is on the way. The announcement featured a screenshot that showed the option to make purchases with prepaid XRP, a feature that is yet to drop.<\/p>\n \u201cRight on time for the holidays: the gift of self custody.

One X user asked<\/a> if users would be able to link a credit card to their Xumm wallet to make purchases. The developer responded<\/a> by saying \u201cThese are hardware wallets, they don’t work @ terminals and ATMs.\u201d<\/p>\n However, in a follow-up, the user declared \u201cDebit cards and Xumm is all I want.\u201d To which Wietse Wind responded that they are working on it. \u201cDebit MasterCard, self custody, card authorization with custom on ledger limits on your account using a Hook,\u201d Wietse Wind revealed.<\/p>\n Working on this.<\/p>\n Debit MasterCard, self custody, card authorization with custom on ledger limits on your account using a Hook. https:\/\/t.co\/BOlFKlddzx<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 WietseWind (\ud83d\udee0+\ud83e\ude9d Xumm @ XRPL Labs) (@WietseWind) November 26, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n Following Wietse Wind\u2019s announcement that the team was working on bringing MasterCard integration to the XRP wallet<\/a>, questions flowed as community members sought out clarifications on what this could mean.
