In a latest tweet, RippleX revealed preliminary discussions of an upcoming modification which may convey privateness to the XRP Ledger.
Confidential MPT is a spec for the XRP Ledger that will convey privateness to balances and transfers. Nevertheless, public auditability and validator-enforced checks would stay unchanged, making a safe monetary atmosphere.
Confidential MPTs present confidential transfers and balances utilizing EC-ElGamal encryption and Zero-Data Proofs (ZKPs), whereas preserving XLS-33 semantics.

Confidential MPTs deal with this hole by introducing encrypted balances and confidential transfers whereas preserving XLS-33 semantics.
