Wu Blockchain learned that RippleX engineering lead J. Ayo Akinyele stated that the XRP Ledger (XRPL) had previously fixed a critical vulnerability in its payment engine that had existed for more than a decade. The vulnerability could have allowed attackers to bypass XRP’s fixed supply limit and create usable XRP out of thin air. The vulnerability was discovered with the involvement of Veria AI and reported through the bug bounty program. The development team released the xrpld 3.4.1 patch on September 25 and coordinated with validators to complete the network upgrade before public disclosure. Officials said they found no evidence that the vulnerability had ever been exploited on the public network. Akinyele said that AI-assisted vulnerability detection, historical code reviews, and formal verification of critical protocols would be strengthened in the future.

A stock that holds XRP is not an XRP purchase: the listing creates access, not an automatic buying flow. Will XRPN primarily be exposure to ripple:native, or a bet on treasury management?

The Times Square billboard is running an ad for the XRP Ledger, and Evernorth is making such a splash in its first week after going public. This marketing push can pump the price more effectively than the technology itself. ZK proofs have been working on privacy and scaling for so long, yet they still can’t generate as much buzz as a single ad premiere. If you disagree, explain why. square
