On 26 May, DNA Protocol verified that its pilots in Uganda will now handle genomic identity information from accredited laboratories. According to reports from AMBCrypto, the system will create zero-knowledge proofs and place them on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) Testnet. The DNA Protocol presents this design as a private method of verifying genetic credentials without disclosing the unprocessed data.
Through Uganda's pilot, lab outputs are converted into proofs that are available for verification on the XRPL Testnet. As reported by AMBCrypto, the plan also calls for a dual burn mechanism between XRP and XDNA to power Mainnet deployment. Due to the dual burn, the XDNA token is directly tied to the XRP supply mechanics and acts as the native unit for protocol fees. The pilot is expected to support a broader initiative to establish the XRP Ledger as a component of institutional infrastructure.
This development took shape while XRPL's derivatives activity stayed high, despite a sharp decline in network growth. According to AMBCrypto analysis, this indicated that speculative leverage has been dominant while the growth of organic users slowed down. The divergence suggested that trader positioning—rather than new on-chain demand—has been driving the market more and more.

The drop hinted at a notable decline in market depth and trading liquidity when compared to earlier times.
