Ripple CTO explained that the issue likely stemmed from validators refusing to validate.
A manual reset was by one validator operator, but the issue was largely resolved by the network.
Is now XRP's turn to shine?
The XRP Ledger (XRPL) experienced a brief disruption in its
operations due to a consensus mechanism issue today (Wednesday). The network's
consensus process appeared to work, but validations were not being published,
causing the ledgers to "drift apart, Coindesk reported."
Meanwhile, the XRPUSD H1 chart has been trading within a
bearish equidistant channel. As of now, after its second bounce off the
channel's support, the price is heading towards the resistance.
Validators' Drift Disrupts XRP Ledger Operations
In the XRP Ledger, consensus is essential for updating the
ledger with new transactions. If validators cannot agree on which transactions
to include, the network halts.
A "drift" means that while the consensus protocol
ran, validations weren’t published. At least one validator operator reset the
consensus to a validated ledger state. However, Ripple's CTO David Schwarz
noted the network seemed to resolve the issue on its own.
Schwarz Highlights Risk of Silent Network
Schwarz explained that validators may have refused to send
validations due to potential issues with the network, preventing further
confusion. He highlighted the risk of a "silent network" failure,
where all validators could refuse to validate, blocking the network from
reconverging.
“One possible failure mode for XRPL is if all the validators
think something's wrong with the network, all refuse to send any validations,
and then there's no chatter to let the network reconverge. This is the 'silent
network' failure,” Schwarz added.
No assets were at risk during the downtime, and XRP prices
stayed in line with broader bitcoin and altcoin movements.

XRPUSD Moves Up After Bullish Reversal
The XRPUSD H1 chart indicates that the price has been
range-bound within a bearish equidistant channel. Following the last bounce and
the formation of a bullish reversal candle, the price has been moving upward.
However, the resistance of the channel provides limited space for buyers, which
may cause the price action to be somewhat sluggish.
DeepSeek AI has analyzed Ripple’s legal situation, the
adoption of its On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) platform, and market trends to
develop predictions. The
model estimates XRP could trade between $3.50 and $5.00 by the end of 2025,
with a 70% probability of a favorable legal outcome.
Ripple has recently been involved in several developments. The
company donated $100,000 in XRP to support communities affected by the
California wildfires, contributing to organizations like World Central Kitchen
and GiveDirectly through The Giving Block platform.
The company is also advancing in Japan, where expectations
suggest that banks
will adopt the XRP Ledger by 2025, according to SBI CEO Yoshitaka Kitao.
This initiative aims to improve cross-border payments and currency conversions
for remittances.
The debate surrounding XRP’s inclusion in a US crypto
reserve continues, with allegations of centralization complicating the issue.
In response, Ripple’s Schwartz, has
defended the decentralization of the XRP Ledger, highlighting its
resilience against manipulation.
