XRPN shareholders approved Nasdaq listing unaware of XRP bug that could mint trillions
A report has disclosed that the XRP Ledger's payment engine once carried a catastrophic inflation bug that would have let hackers mint trillions of new XRP at almost no cost, undermining its fixed-supply promise. The flaw was fixed by a September 25 patch, but XRPN shareholders were not told before their September 28 redemption window closed. Evernorth had previously claimed that 100 billion XRP was an immutable ceiling, and the bug could have pushed the price of XRP toward zero.
