The XRP Ledger Foundation pushed back against claims that its emergency security patch was forced on network operators. XRP Ledger developers have defended the emergency security patch used to fix a bug capable of creating XRP beyond the network’s fixed supply, saying they could not wait for the network’s usual two-week validator vote without exposing the flaw to attackers. The fix, released on Sept. 25, came three days after a bug bounty report, and took effect immediately on any server that installed it. It was the first deliberate bypass of the normal amendment process since the system was introduced more than ten years ago, they said.  “With a normal amendment vote, the fix would have been public for weeks before it took effect, risking network security,” XRPL developers said in an X post on Sunday.  Read more

XRPL is integrating Boundless’ zero-knowledge tech into its base layer, stepping into the race to offer banks confidential onchain transactions without losing regulatory visibility. The XRP Ledger (XRPL) used by blockchain payments company Ripple has tapped Boundless, a zero-knowledge infrastructure provider, to let banks and asset managers execute confidential yet compliant transactions directly on the network, according to a Tuesday release shared with Cointelegraph. Boundless chief executive Shiv Shankar told Cointelegraph the design aims to shield details like transaction size, frequency and counterparties from public view, while still allowing regulators to audit activity via selective disclosure and role-based access controls. Boundless’ integration is meant to enable a range of institutional use cases that have historically been challenging to run on fully transparent ledgers. Those include cross-border business-to-business payments, treasury and capital management, over-the-counter positions, tokenize...

The French banking group’s digital asset unit deploys EUR CoinVertible on a third public blockchain, alongside Ethereum and Solana. French banking group Societe Generale’s digital asset arm, SG-FORGE, has deployed its euro-denominated stablecoin, EUR CoinVertible, on the XRP Ledger, marking the token’s third blockchain launch after Ethereum and Solana. According to Wednesday’s announcement, the rollout is supported by Ripple’s custody infrastructure and could enable integration into Ripple products, including use as trading collateral. SG-FORGE said the move expands institutional access to the euro-backed token across another public network. The launch comes about a month after global banking network SWIFT tested SocGen’s euro-pegged stablecoin in a pilot of exchange and settlement of tokenized bonds in both fiat and digital currencies. SG-FORGE said EUR CoinVertible was the first MiCA-compliant digital asset designed to integrate directly with SWIFT’s interoperability framework.

As Pi Network prepares to align with ISO 20022 by November 2025, can it truly stand beside the XRP Ledger and the Stellar Network in cross-border finance? ISO 20022 is a global standard that defines how financial institutions exchange information for transactions such as payments, securities and remittances. It replaces older, fragmented messaging systems with a unified, structured format that enables banks, fintech companies and payment networks across the world to communicate in the same digital language. Adopting ISO 20022 enhances cross-border compatibility by enabling secure and efficient sharing of richer, structured transaction data (such as payment purpose and sender and receiver information). This improves transparency, reduces the number of errors and accelerates the processing of international transfers. Read more
