According to TechFlow, on December 3, Cointelegraph reported that XRP Ledger lowered the basic reserve requirement from 10 XRP (about $25.60) to 1 XRP (about $2.56). At the same time, the owner reserve of each account object (including NFT, trust line, signature list, etc.) was also reduced from 2 XRP to 0.2 XRP.

The adjustment was first disclosed by Vet, the operator of XRP verification node. Developer WietseWind said that although reducing the reserve may increase book activity and pose challenges to infrastructure, it is a "good problem" that means more user participation and the engineering team is confident in coping with the increase in network load.
