XRP (XRP) is scheduled for a cleanup upgrade on October 23, 2026, after the amendment reached 29 validator votes. CoinDesk reported that the package had the minimum support required for approval, while the XRP price stands at 1.3251 USD as of October 22, 2026, down 2.44 percent compared with the UTC daily close of October 21, 2026.

Cleanup package reaches 29 votes

The amendment, called fixCleanup3_4_0, addresses software issues involving token permissions, vault accounting, automated market makers and loan-default rules. Validators are independent servers that agree on which transactions count on the XRP Ledger. CoinDesk reported that the network requires support from 29 of 35 trusted validators for a rule change and that the package had exactly 29 votes in its latest cited snapshot.

The approval period is expected to finish around 09:34 UTC on October 23, 2026, according to Crypto.news. The activation remains conditional on support staying above the required threshold. The lending system itself is separate from the cleanup amendment and is not switched on by the scheduled update.

ETF outflow totals 1.84 million USD

U.S. spot XRP exchange-traded funds, which hold XRP directly, recorded 1.84 million USD in net outflows for the week ended October 16, 2026. A net outflow means withdrawals exceeded new fund investments. Yahoo Finance reported that the result ended a 13-week inflow streak and that cumulative net inflows remained near 1.8 billion USD as of mid-October.

The same report said XRP Ledger payment volume fell to 119.5 million XRP on October 17, 2026, compared with a 30-day average of 629.3 million XRP, citing XRPSCAN. The payment figure and the fund-flow figure cover different periods and measures, so they are presented separately.
