XRP fell about 2.5% over the past 24 hours as attention shifted to XRP Ledger development and event-related updates that didn’t provide an immediate bullish catalyst. U.Today reported on RippleX rewriting parts of XRP’s architecture to address AI and potential quantum-era security concerns, and separately highlighted support for a major XRP Ledger protocol upgrade that drops “Ripple” from code—both meaningful long-term items but not necessarily near-term demand drivers.
