XRP Ledger Maps Path Toward Quantum-Resistant Accounts
The XRP Ledger Foundation has proposed an account-security upgrade designed to resist future quantum attacks without increasing transaction fees.
The XRP Ledger Foundation has proposed an account-security upgrade designed to resist future quantum attacks without increasing transaction fees. XRP (XRP) is trading at ₹97.79 ($1.04). This is an original Token Times brief based on reporting by BeInCrypto, with live market data added, as of Thu, 12 Nov 2026 07:45:01 UTC.
A working quantum-resistant account system could preserve user control and wallet security as quantum computing advances. The proposal matters because its feasibility depends on resolving technical hurdles before implementation can begin.

The 
XRP Ledger Foundation has outlined a plan to introduce quantum-proof accounts on the XRP Ledger, according to BeInCrypto. The proposal is intended to protect wallets from future quantum attacks, a risk associated with the cryptographic methods currently used to secure digital assets and accounts.
The design would not require users to pay higher transaction fees. However, the foundation still needs to overcome several technical obstacles before the upgrade is ready, and BeInCrypto notes that development would require an extended timeline. The reported budget for the effort could reach $255,000.
This is a proposal rather than a completed upgrade, and no launch date was supplied. BeInCrypto was the only outlet providing coverage of the initiative, so the available information does not include independent corroboration of its technical details, funding figure or implementation schedule.
The development comes against a broadly subdued crypto market. Total capitalization stands at $2.51 trillion, while the overall market is flat; 
Bitcoin is down 0.31% over 24 hours, and the Fear & Greed Index reads 28, indicating fear. XRP trades at $1.041, down 1.87% over 24 hours and 20.50% over seven days, with a market capitalization of $66.13 billion. What to watch is whether the foundation resolves the identified engineering constraints and formalizes a deployment timetable without changing the proposal’s no-fee-increase feature.
Since this brief published about 7 hours ago, XRP (XRP) has moved from ₹97.70$1.04 to ₹97.79$1.04 — +0.10%.
The chart plots XRP's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from Token Times's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 XRP ≈ ₹103.56 (about $1.04), down 1.2% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 5.9% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
