XRP Ledger Fix Closes Token-Minting Loophole as XRP Price Stays Under Pressure
Published on 11/09/2026 at 13:01 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWSWhat XRP Holders Should Watch
- The XRP Ledger activated a fix for a token-permission loophole affecting issued assets, not native XRP.
- CoinDesk reported that no publicly confirmed exploitation had occurred.
- Investing.com displayed XRP at 1.1550 USD, with a market capitalization of 73.26 billion USD and 24-hour volume of 872.32 million USD.
- RLUSD remained more concentrated on Ethereum than on the XRP Ledger in data reported on November 4.
The XRP Ledger has activated a security amendment that closes a token-permission loophole affecting issued assets such as stablecoins. The change addresses a risk in which an account authorized to burn an issuer's tokens could, under certain conditions, also create new tokens. Native XRP was not affected.
CoinDesk reported that the fix, named fixCleanup3_4_0, went live on November 4 at 14:52 UTC after the network maintained sufficient validator support for the required period. The publication said there were no publicly confirmed cases of the flaw being exploited. The update also included accounting corrections for planned lending and Single Asset Vault features, as well as other transaction and trading fixes.
Security Improvement, Not a Supply Event
For XRP holders, the distinction between issued assets and the native token is important. The amendment separates minting and burning permissions for assets created on the ledger; it does not alter XRP supply. That makes the event primarily a network-security and infrastructure development rather than a direct tokenomics catalyst.
The broader XRP Ledger positioning remains focused on payments, tokenization and digital-asset settlement. On its official website, XRP Ledger describes the network as a decentralized public Layer 1 blockchain and says transactions settle in three to five seconds. Its lending functionality is still labeled as coming soon.
Stablecoin Adoption Remains Uneven
Stablecoin distribution is another relevant indicator for the XRP price. Data cited by Yahoo Finance on November 4 showed 862.8 million USD of RLUSD on the XRP Ledger versus 1.72 billion USD on Ethereum. The report also said that Ripple's total RLUSD circulation was 2.63 billion USD on October 29. The figures suggest that Ripple's stablecoin activity has not yet translated into a majority position for the XRP Ledger.
At the time shown on the Investing.com XRP price page, XRP/USD was listed at 1.1550 USD with a displayed timestamp of 18:11:35. The page showed a market capitalization of 73.26 billion USD, 24-hour volume of 872.32 million USD and a 52-week range of 0.9886 to 2.5797 USD. These figures provide market context, but the security amendment itself does not establish a direct price catalyst.
Investors may therefore focus on whether further XRP Ledger upgrades become operational and whether more RLUSD activity moves onto the network. The combination of improved token controls and still-developing lending infrastructure points to a gradual adoption story rather than an immediate change in XRP's supply or utility.
