Are there any extra coins in the ledger? The XRP Ledger Foundation clarified in a post on X that a vulnerability could theoretically bypass the 100 billion XRP ($XRP ) total supply cap, but it was fixed two weeks ago in version 3.4.1. An audit confirmed that no new coins were created, and the ledger’s total supply remains about 99.986 billion. Exploiting it would require hundreds of deliberately crafted operations, so ordinary payments are highly unlikely to trigger it. The patch was released directly after coordination among the Foundation, RippleX, core developers, and validators, out of concern that public disclosure could allow the issue to be analyzed more quickly with AI. Further efforts will strengthen formal verification, adversarial testing, security collaboration, and the bug bounty program. Current price: 1.406 USDT, up 0.34% over 24 hours. The supply cap remains unchanged for now; whether nodes complete the upgrade is what to watch next.
