XRPL Amendment Combats Token-Issuance Risk and Expands DeFi Features

U.Today reports that the XRP Ledger activated a new amendment on Nov. 4. The change addresses a potential security weakness that could have enabled unauthorized token issuance, according to the outlet’s summary. No confirmed exploit or unauthorized issuance is described in the available coverage. The amendment also introduces improvements to automated market makers and lending on XRPL. The supplied report does not provide the amendment’s technical provisions, implementation timetable or adoption figures, so the scope of those changes cannot be assessed further from the available material. Because U.Today is the only outlet covering the development, its account is not independently corroborated in this reporting set. The core claims are limited to the Nov. 4 activation, the token-issuance security concern and the accompanying AMM and lending updates; no other source supplied here confirms or contradicts those details.

XRP was priced at $1.31 at the time of the market snapshot, gaining 2.37% over 24 hours but slipping 0.31% over seven days. Its market capitalization stood at $83.17 billion. The broader crypto market was broadly higher, with total capitalization at $2.76 trillion and Bitcoin up 3.79% over 24 hours, while the Fear & Greed index remained at 34, indicating a fearful reading of market sentiment. The next points of scrutiny are whether the amendment functions as intended and how its AMM and lending changes are used.
