TradingGain Newsroom·2h ago·02 Nov 2026, 12:37 UTC

Developers of the XRP Ledger are working on a fix for a flaw that could let stablecoin partners create new tokens. The fix is on track for Wednesday, but a brief dip in validator support restarted the two-week activation clock. XRP itself is not affected, so the news mainly matters for the network and its stablecoin partners.
