A decade-old bug in the XRP Ledger's payment system could have allowed attackers to create and spend new XRP tokens without funding them, violating the fixed supply of 100 billion XRP. The vulnerability involved a counting error in the ledger's built-in exchange, letting attackers open hundreds of accounts to buy large amounts of XRP for almost nothing. RippleX, Ripple's developer arm, confirmed the flaw and released a software patch (xrpld 3.4.1) on September 25, with no evidence the bug was exploited on public networks. This fix preserves the integrity of XRP's fixed supply, which is crucial for institutions relying on the network.
The XRP price on Pluang is Rp25.079, showing a modest 0.41% increase as of Oct 10, 2026 11:32 WIB, while its circulating supply stands at 63.1 billion XRP, representing 64% of the total fixed supply of 100 billion. This patch to the XRP Ledger helps maintain the integrity of this fixed supply, which is crucial given the significant market cap of Rp1.581,87 trillion and daily trading volume of Rp34,12 trillion. Investor activity on Pluang leans heavily toward buying, with 74% of orders favoring purchases and a typical hold time of 72 days, highlighting sustained interest in XRP despite the recent bug fix news.
