XRP Price Prediction: Dev Fix Sparks 7.3% Surge to $2.23
XRP price rallies 7.3% to $2.23 after SDK security patch. Devs resume work as technical breakout eyes $2.30 and $2.38.
Quick overview
Live XRP/USD Chart
XRP has bounced back with a vengeance, up 7% in the last 24 hours to $2.23. After a few tense days for the XRP Ledger (XRPL) developer community, the crisis seems to be over—for now.
The issue was with malicious code in recent versions of the xrpl.js library published on NPM. These are used by developers building dApps and wallets on XRP. While no major exploits were reported, the vulnerability prompted urgent audits and halted several development projects.
But on Thursday, XRPL contributor “Vet” announced that 4.2.5 is out and is safe. “The compromised versions are removed,” he posted. “Updating to 4.2.5 is now safe.” That calmed the nerves and restored confidence across the ecosystem.
Why This Matters for XRP and Web3 Builders
Although the bug was short lived, it’s a reminder of the high stakes in decentralized development. The malicious versions (4.2.1 and up) posed risks to wallets, DeFi tools and smart contract deployments. Several teams paused work to assess exposure.
Now that the patched version is out, development pipelines are back up and running and trust in XRPL is back. The way the community and core devs handled the situation, fast and transparent, is a big deal for XRP in the Web3 space.
Chart Watch: XRP eyes $2.38
On the charts, XRP has broken above the $2.10-$2.13 resistance and bulls are back in control. MACD is positive, 50 period EMA is up and volume is picking up—good signs.
Currently at $2.22, XRP has $2.30 to clear. If that holds, $2.38 could be next.
Here’s what to watch:
- Entry 1: Buy on a clean bounce off $2.20, confirm
- Entry 2: Enter on break above $2.30 with volume
- Targets: $2.30, then $2.38
- Stop Loss: Below $2.13Wait for confirmation—especially after a big move. Let the price and volume do the talking before you buy.
Conclusion
This could have been a lot worse. But XRP’s bounce back—both technically and in terms of community trust—shows it’s still a player. If this holds, $2.30 and up next.
