XRP price stood at 1.3129 USD on November 4 at 18:01:45 Berlin time on the Investing.com XRP/USD page. The page showed a daily range of 1.2422 to 1.3391 USD, a market capitalization of 83.16 billion USD and 24-hour volume of 2.90 billion USD. XRP was ranked fifth on the displayed market data.
Conditional XRPL activation window
The immediate network development is the fixCleanup3_4_0 amendment. According to Crypto.news, the amendment had backing from 33 of 35 tracked trusted validators, or 94.29%. Its projected activation time was November 4 at approximately 14:46 UTC, provided support stayed above the required 80% for the two-week voting period.
The timing was conditional rather than a completed upgrade. Crypto.news reported that the countdown had previously been interrupted after validator support fell below the necessary level. A further decline to 80% or below could interrupt the process again.
Issued tokens, not XRP supply
The flaw concerns the delegated PaymentBurn permission. Under certain conditions, an account authorized to burn issued tokens could create trust-line tokens or Multi-Purpose Tokens. The correction is intended to reject PaymentBurn transactions that cross a zero balance. This exposure applies to issued assets, including stablecoins, and does not affect XRP's native supply.
That distinction matters for investors assessing the event. The amendment addresses ledger permissions and related accounting checks; it is not a change to XRP's issuance rules. It also should not be confused with the separate native lending proposals, which require their own validator approval.
Network utility remains mixed
A Yahoo Finance report said 862.8 million USD of RLUSD was on the XRP Ledger, compared with 1.72 billion USD on Ethereum, based on data cited in the report. It also said the ledger's proposed lending protocol had 19 of the 28 votes needed, while single-asset vaults had 21 votes. Those figures indicate that the security cleanup and broader institutional lending functionality are separate developments.
For investors tracking the XRP price, the displayed 52-week range was 0.9886 to 2.5797 USD. The conditional fix provides a concrete technical milestone, but validator support and adoption of additional ledger functions remain key variables. More XRP coverage is available on the XRP topic page.
