XRPL teases AMM native support
As reported by U.Today, the XRP Ledger Foundation (XRPLF) is now home to the authoritative repository for the XRPL protocol code base, Rippled. XRPLF is a nonprofit organization that exists independently of Ripple and is solely dedicated to the long-term growth and development of XRP Ledger.
My team will, of course, continue to contribute to the codebase and seek to further enhance the XRPL's functionality and we look forward to doing so alongside other contributors, new and existing.

Next step for us, as @JoelKatz blogged about, is proposing native AMM support.
Speaking on this, Ripple's director of engineering, "NIKB," stated that Ripple would continue to contribute to the codebase while also suggesting the introduction of native AMM functionality as the next stage of development for XRPL.
Automated market makers are DeFi smart contracts that enable users to establish a market by adding cryptocurrency to a liquidity pool. They remain a part of decentralized exchanges (DEXs) that were introduced to remove middlemen from the trading of crypto assets.
