XRP price near 1.16 USD as XRPL security fix meets weak ETF demand
Published on 11/09/2026 at 07:03 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWSSecurity fix meets weak demand
- XRP traded at 1.1550 USD on November 9, 2026, about 0.60 percent below the November 8 UTC close of 1.1620 USD.
- The XRP Ledger activated the fixCleanup3_4_0 amendment, closing a token-permission loophole without affecting native XRP supply.
- U.S. spot XRP ETFs attracted 1.81 billion USD in cumulative net inflows through October 30, but recent flows remained modest.
XRP price remained close to 1.16 USD on November 9, as investors weighed a completed security upgrade on the XRP Ledger against subdued recent ETF demand. The Investing.com XRP/USD page displayed 1.1550 USD at 18:11:35 Berlin time, with a 24-hour volume of 872.32 million USD and a market capitalization of 73.26 billion USD.
Using the verified November 8 UTC daily close of 1.1620 USD reported by Kinzan, the displayed price was down about 0.60 percent. The move is below the 5 percent threshold at which a daily change alone would qualify as the main news angle under this report's format. Investing.com listed a 52-week range of 0.9886 to 2.5797 USD.
Ledger amendment closes permission gap
The XRP Ledger activated the fixCleanup3_4_0 amendment on November 4 at 14:52 UTC, at ledger 108,112,129. As reported by Gadgets 360, the change prevents delegated PaymentBurn transactions from crossing a zero-balance boundary in a way that could allow issued tokens to be created under specific conditions.
The issue concerned assets created on the ledger, including stablecoins and other issued tokens, rather than XRP itself. Gadgets 360 reported that no exploitation had been publicly identified. Activation required more than 80 percent support from trusted validators for 14 consecutive days; the amendment followed an earlier interruption in that approval process.
ETF demand has not offset losses
Institutional access has expanded through U.S. spot XRP ETFs, but the flow data show a mixed picture. Yahoo Finance reported cumulative net inflows of 1.81 billion USD through October 30. The same report said the funds attracted 4.3 million USD in the week ending October 30, while October 29 produced an inflow of about 8.4 million USD.
That capital has not translated into a sustained recovery in the XRP price. The token closed at 2.32 USD when the first spot fund launched, according to the Yahoo Finance report, compared with the 1.1550 USD displayed on November 9. The figures indicate that fund demand and spot-market pricing have moved differently; they do not establish that ETF flows caused the current decline.
Network use remains the longer-term variable
The project website describes the XRP Ledger as a decentralized Layer 1 blockchain focused on digital assets, payments and tokenization. It reports transaction settlement in 3 to 5 seconds and supports for stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets. Those stated capabilities provide context, but adoption and market demand remain separate questions for XRP holders.
