The activation of a critical bug fix for the XRP Ledger has been postponed to November 4, 2026, after validator support briefly fell below the required 80% threshold (29 of 35 validators). The fix, originally slated for October 23, lost its two-week countdown when support dipped to 26 of 35 validators for two hours on Wednesday. Support has since recovered to 31 of 35. The patch addresses a loophole in token creation/burning and refines the lending code for Ripple's bank-focused system.
