- The XRP price stands at 1.3024 USD as of October 27, 2026, 0.22 percent above the UTC daily close of October 26, 2026.

XRP (XRP) faces a November 4, 2026, earliest activation window for the XRP Ledger's fixCleanup3_4_0 amendment after validator support fell to 26 of 35 on October 21. Coinpaper reported that the vote reset the required approval period. The XRP price is 1.3024 USD as of October 27, 2026, up 0.22 percent compared with the UTC daily close of October 26, 2026, according to Investing.com.
Validator support reset the November 4 window
The amendment requires support from more than 80 percent of 35 trusted validators, or at least 29 votes, for 14 consecutive days. Support recovered to 29 votes on October 21 at 14:46 UTC, but the earlier drop to 26 votes had already restarted the countdown, according to PrimeXBT. The amendment addresses technical corrections involving token permissions, lending-related calculations, automated market makers, escrow handling and transaction signatures.
The November 4, 2026, date is a conditional earliest activation window rather than a guaranteed switch. The amendment is a maintenance package, not the launch of the XRP Ledger's broader lending system. Separate lending amendments still require their own validator approval, according to Coinpaper.
ETF outflows ended a 13-week inflow run
U.S. spot XRP ETFs, which hold XRP directly for investors through exchange-traded products, recorded 1.84 million USD in net outflows for the week ended October 16, 2026. The result ended 13 consecutive weeks of inflows, while cumulative net inflows reached 1.80 billion USD as of October 16, 2026, according to Yahoo Finance. The same report put ETF net assets at 1.47 billion USD on that date.
Ripple also filed a 20-page comment letter on October 20, 2026, supporting the Securities and Exchange Commission's proposed Regulation Crypto Assets framework while requesting changes to the treatment of investment contracts and secondary-market transactions, according to Crypto.news. The proposal remains subject to SEC review and possible revisions.
