XRP Ledger developers test a zero-balance account creation plan, which is proposed to be funded by the sponsor to cover the 1 XRP reserve requirement

According to CoinDesk, XRP Ledger developers are testing a new feature that aims to allow the creation of blockchain accounts with an initial balance of zero, with existing accounts bearing the reserve required for new accounts, thereby lowering the financial threshold for payment applications and automated software to create wallets on a large scale. This proposal was submitted on October 15 in the form of a SponsoredAccountCreate transaction proposal.According to current XRP Ledger rules, each account must reserve at least 1 XRP as a reserve, meaning that creating 100,000 independent accounts would require locking up 100,000 XRP. The new proposal intends for sponsored accounts to bear this reserve requirement, and a broader fee sponsorship mechanism in the future could also allow applications to pay transaction fees on behalf of users, but the overall reserve requirement for the network will not be eliminated. This feature is expected to lower the usage threshold for scenarios such as embedded wallets, RLUSD stablecoin payments, and AI agent automated payments.However, the related code is still under review, and the sponsorship mechanism it relies on has not yet gone live on the mainnet. As of October 19, the mechanism has only received 11 votes out of the 35 required validator votes, still falling short of the 29 votes needed for approval.

Cryptocurrency payment infrastructure company Mesh announced a partnership with Visa, allowing users to directly spend their cryptocurrency and stablecoin balances from participating wallet applications at over 175 million merchant locations worldwide. This integration supports both offline and online payments through Visa credentials configured in the backend, with Mesh responsible for transaction fund transfers and currency conversion, so users do not need to sell or transfer assets in advance.Bam Azizi, CEO and co-founder of Mesh, stated that cryptocurrency has never been a consumption issue, but rather a "last mile" problem, and previously solving this issue meant needing to obtain a separate card. Mesh handles fund transfers and conversions, allowing balances to be converted into purchasing power at the moment of payment, without users needing to transfer any assets, and merchants not needing to make any changes. The specific launch date of this partnership, supported devices, and participating platforms have not yet been announced.Mesh is a cryptocurrency payment infrastructure company that previously supported the launch of PayPal's "Pay with Crypto" service. In August 2025, institutions such as PayPal Ventures and Coinbase Ventures raised Mesh's total funding to over $130 million. In January of this year, Mesh completed a $75 million Series C funding round led by Dragonfly, entering the unicorn ranks. This partnership is also Visa's latest initiative to continuously integrate cryptocurrency assets into its merchant network, having previously engaged in similar collaborations with WeFi, Bridge, and others.
