XRP price fell to 1.1931 US dollars on November 6, according to Investing.com. The quote was displayed at 18:04:13, which corresponds to 18:04 Berlin time. The token was down 3.36 percent on the page's displayed intraday comparison and stood 8.55 percent below the November 5 UTC close of 1.3047 US dollars reported on the ad-hoc-news.de XRP topic page.
Security amendment is now active
The XRP Ledger activated the fixCleanup3_4_0 amendment on November 4 at 14:52 UTC, at ledger 108,112,129. CoinDesk reported that the change prevents accounts authorized only to destroy an issuer's tokens from also creating new ones under certain conditions.
The issue concerned assets issued on the ledger, including stablecoins, rather than XRP itself. CoinDesk said it found no publicly confirmed exploitation. The amendment followed two uninterrupted weeks of validator support after an earlier approval period was interrupted in October. The release also includes corrections for lending and Single Asset Vault accounting, automated trading pools, permissioned trading and transaction signing.
ETF demand remains quiet
US spot XRP ETFs recorded zero net flow in the November 5 session, according to the Alpha Finance ETF dashboard. Its reported cumulative net inflow stood at 1.73 billion US dollars since the funds began listing in November 2025. The dashboard also showed zero net flow on November 4 and November 3, while October 29 was the latest listed session with a material inflow at 8.4 million US dollars.
For investors, the protocol fix removes a specific permission risk from issued assets but does not directly change XRP's supply. The sharp November 6 move instead leaves the XRP price sensitive to broader crypto-market positioning and the lack of fresh ETF buying. The available figures describe market conditions rather than establish a causal link between the amendment and the decline.
