Since mid-January, XRP prices have remained below $2, but a surge in network activity and institutional fund inflows has sparked expectations of a rebound in the second quarter. Bitrue reports that XRP spot trading volume has surged by 212%, with buy orders twice as many as sell orders. Meanwhile, the net assets flowing into XRP ETFs have reached $1.1 billion. Additionally, Ripple CTO David Schwartz clarified that the XRP ledger does not allow any party (including Ripple) to prevent valid transactions or freeze wallets, addressing recent debates about decentralization.

XRP Ledger Validator Vet has announced that on March 3, 2026 (Tuesday), the XRPL Development Network will undergo a reset, and developers are advised to postpone new setups. This reset is due to serious vulnerabilities found in the Batch and fixBatchInnerSigs revisions. A new rippled server version 3.1.1 has been released, and over 21% of nodes have already upgraded to this version. The reset will clear all ledger data on the development network and reset balances to zero, but it will not affect the mainnet, testnet, or related API services.
