The XRP Ledger (XRPL) is structurally immune to flash loan attacks, a common exploit in DeFi that has caused losses of hundreds of millions on Ethereum and other chains. This is because XRPL transactions are atomic and do not support composable intra-transaction calls, preventing the multi-step borrow-manipulate-repay sequence that defines flash loan attacks. While this architectural choice sacrifices some DeFi features like flash loans used for arbitrage and collateral swaps, it also eliminates a major class of exploits. As XRPL's DeFi ecosystem grows with over $3 billion in tokenized real-world assets and upcoming AMM upgrades, its built-in security could attract institutional investors seeking safer alternatives to Ethereum's more liquid but riskier environment.
