The XRP Ledger (XRPL) has successfully rolled out its latest v3.1.3 upgrade on the mainnet, introducing important fixes aimed at improving network efficiency, stability, and security. The update includes activation of the fixCleanup3_1_3 amendment and has already been adopted by a majority of network nodes.
XRP Ledger v3.1.3 Upgrade Goes Live
The latest XRP Ledger update became active at ledger index 104,507,137 on May 27 at 03:51 UTC. The newly introduced fixCleanup3_1_3 amendment is now fully enabled across the network.
According to contributors involved with XRPL validation, the blockchain continues processing transactions normally following the upgrade, signaling a smooth transition without major disruptions.
Nodes operating on software versions older than v3.1.3 are now blocked from participating in consensus operations and must update immediately to remain functional within the ecosystem.
More Than Two-Thirds of Nodes Have Upgraded
Current data shows approximately 67% of XRP Ledger nodes have already migrated to the latest version. Because the update addressed critical technical issues, it automatically received a default approval vote, removing the need for manual community governance.
In addition, comments from key XRPL contributors indicate that the amendment achieved full consensus support among validators and Ripple-associated participants.
What Does the XRP Ledger Upgrade Fix?
The v3.1.3 release introduces several important improvements across multiple XRPL components, including NFTs, Permissioned Domains, Vaults, and lending infrastructure.
Key fixes include:
- Removal of expired NFT offer entries that remained stored on the ledger
- Protection against unintended Permissioned Domain modifications after failed transactions
- Corrections to trust line token limit calculations during vault withdrawals
- Improvements to loan accounting mechanisms and elimination of loan overpayment issues
- Additional validation checks for matching collateral assets
These updates are designed to improve transaction reliability, strengthen data integrity, and reduce risks associated with advanced DeFi applications and tokenized asset systems.
Upgrade Supports Long-Term XRPL Roadmap
The latest improvements align with the XRP Ledger’s broader development plans, which include expansion into tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), permissioned decentralized exchange functionality, and preparations for future post-quantum security measures.
The continued focus on infrastructure upgrades reflects growing ambitions to support more institutional and enterprise blockchain applications.
XRP Price Falls Despite Positive Network Developments
Despite the successful upgrade, XRP price weakened alongside the broader crypto market. XRP is currently trading near $1.33, posting a decline of roughly 1% over the past 24 hours.
However, trading activity increased significantly, with volume rising nearly 37%, suggesting heightened investor participation.
Recent fund flow data indicates institutional investors may be rotating capital toward XRP from Bitcoin and Ethereum. XRP reportedly attracted approximately $31.8 million in inflows even as crypto investment products recorded substantial outflows overall.
Meanwhile, derivatives markets show improving sentiment. Open interest in XRP futures climbed around 3.3% to nearly $2.96 billion, with increases recorded across major platforms including CME and Binance.
Some on-chain indicators suggest investors continue viewing recent XRP price weakness as a potential accumulation opportunity.
