The XRP price is in focus after the XRP Ledger activated a protocol amendment designed to close a delegated-permission flaw. The amendment, called fixCleanup3_4_0, became active on November 4 at 14:52 UTC at ledger 108,112,129, according to CoinDesk.
What the amendment changes
The issue concerned the XRP Ledger's permission-delegation system. Under certain conditions, an account authorized to destroy issued tokens through the PaymentBurn permission could also create new tokens. The correction prevents such transactions from crossing a zero-balance boundary, separating token burning from token issuance.
The affected assets include issued tokens such as stablecoins, trust-line tokens and Multi-Purpose Tokens. The native XRP supply was not part of the affected permission system. CoinDesk also reported that no publicly confirmed exploitation of the flaw had been identified.
Price and market context
Investing.com listed XRP/USD at 1.3129 US dollars and showed a gain of 2.33 percent. The same page reported a 24-hour volume of 2.90 billion US dollars, a market capitalization of 83.16 billion US dollars and a market ranking of fifth. Its displayed 52-week range was 0.9886 to 2.5797 US dollars.
For a separate daily reference, a CryptoNews market analysis reported a November 4 XRP close of 1.27496 US dollars. That source described the token as having gained 2.16 percent on that session after reaching 1.28923 US dollars. The figures come from different market-data snapshots and should not be treated as a single exchange settlement series.
Why investors may care
The activation removes a specific technical uncertainty for issuers and service providers using delegated permissions on the ledger. It is a network-security development rather than a change to XRP's monetary supply. The amendment also includes corrections affecting automated market makers, vault accounting and transaction processing, but it does not by itself activate the proposed native lending system, which requires separate validator approval.
For investors, the key distinction is between infrastructure progress and direct token demand. The security fix may improve confidence among users of issued assets, but the available information does not establish a direct price effect. The XRP price therefore remains dependent on broader crypto-market conditions and XRP-specific flows as well as ongoing XRPL adoption.
