The XRP Ledger bypassed its usual validator vote to urgently patch an account vulnerability that could have allowed XRP to be minted out of thin air. The compiled version was sent to validators before the source code was made public, and the official disclosure said there were no signs of exploitation. The trading logic behind this supply-integrity incident is simple: the vulnerability was not exploited, so the worst is over. XRP is currently at $1.40, up just 0.7% over 24 hours, with no panic selling—suggesting the market has judged this a one-off risk. The strategic observation window is 24 to 48 hours after the fix is confirmed. If the price holds above the top of its pre-patch trading range, the risk can be considered resolved; existing trend positions can be maintained, with no need to go short. COMP is currently at $25.19, up 3.0% over 24 hours, as sentiment across major altcoins recovers in tandem. News-driven shocks like this often affect only the intraday rhythm.
