An AI agent uncovered a decade-old XRP Ledger vulnerability that could create about 18 trillion XRP through one payment transaction, according to Veria Labs. Veria founder Cayden Liao said the flaw potentially threatened XRP's $94 billion market capitalization by undermining the cryptocurrency's fixed supply. Developers patched the vulnerability three days after the Sept. 22 report, bypassing the established amendment process to activate protection immediately. RippleX confirmed that no unauthorized XRP was created, no funds were lost, and investigators found no evidence of exploitation on public networks. RippleX plans to expand AI-assisted vulnerability discovery, adversarial testing and formal verification.
