- XRP was quoted at 1.25 USD at 03:53 UTC on October 31, 2026.
- The fixCleanup3_4_0 amendment is conditionally scheduled for November 4 after validator support previously fell below the required threshold.
- The amendment is a technical maintenance update, not the launch of the broader XRPL lending system.
- XRP's 20-day volatility was 2.48 percent, according to Kinzan.
XRP price was 1.25 USD at 03:53 UTC on October 31, 2026, according to Kinzan. The source also recorded a 24-hour change of 0.29 percent, a rolling comparison rather than a UTC daily close. Its 00:00 UTC reference point for October 31 was 1.2578 USD, while the latest displayed daily close was 1.2564 USD. The 24-hour range at the time was 1.2391 to 1.2653 USD.
Technical amendment nears activation
The immediate network event is the fixCleanup3_4_0 amendment for the XRP Ledger. CoinDesk reported on October 22 that the amendment's activation was pushed back from October 23 to November 4 after validator support briefly fell to 26 of 35. At least 29 validators must support the change at every checkpoint for 14 consecutive days. Support later recovered to 31 of 35, according to the report.
The November 4 timing is conditional, not a guaranteed launch appointment. A further interruption could reset the approval period again. The amendment addresses a token-creation loophole and changes to vault and lending calculations, but it does not activate the broader lending system. That system requires separate validator approval.
What the update means for XRP
For holders, the distinction between network maintenance and a new product launch matters. The fix is intended to improve the ledger's technical behavior, while the lending functionality remains a separate governance question. The XRP Ledger describes itself as a decentralized public Layer 1 blockchain focused on creating, transferring and exchanging digital assets; its project website says transactions settle in 3 to 5 seconds. These network characteristics provide operating context, but they do not establish a direct price effect.
Kinzan measured XRP's 20-day volatility at 2.48 percent and described the latest 24-hour move as 0.1 standard deviations from its average. That reading places the observed move within the source's stated normal range rather than identifying a new high or low. The XRP price therefore remains a market reference while the next potentially material protocol milestone depends on validator continuity.
