Someone needs less obvious XLS66 shill bots.
With regard to XLS66 I believe it is of value to the XRP ledger, I’m less certain it is directly of use to XRP holders.
If the right lending risk metrics can be applied, XLS66 is pretty interesting but from the perspective of XRP as an asset and putting aside the risks of un collateralised lending, it is fundamentally different to what applications like Morpho are doing.
XLS66 in short allows you to deposit an asset into a vault and through an intermediary for someone else to borrow that asset in return for paying an interest rate.
This is great for stablecoins and potentially certain RWAs but for you the XRP holder to benefit on your XRP from XLS66 there has to be demand to borrow XRP. As XRP (or any other volatile crypto currency) is not broadly used as a payment currency, demand to borrow XRP is actually relatively small.
Instead, what protocols like Morpho let you do is to provide your XRP as collateral against which other assets like stables can be borrowed. This model provides direct value to you as an XRP holder by letting you continue to hold your XRP and borrow against it.
Where I think XRP can be utilised well in XL66 is in providing first loss insurance to stable coin vaults to reduce the costs of default.
Separately I think Flare’s Confidential Compute can be used to allow for private lending through XLS66 whilst retaining high quality risk management.
