$XRP briefly fell below $1 after the Coreum bridge exploit drained nearly 200,000 XRP in just 97 minutes. What’s important here is that the exploit was tied to a flaw in the bridge’s deposit-verification software, not the $XRP Ledger itself. Still, the incident shows how quickly confidence can be affected when cross-chain infrastructure fails. The $1 level is now an important area for $XRP . If buyers can defend it, we could see a recovery. If it breaks decisively, more downside could follow. For now, I’m watching the $1 level closely.
