Security doesn\u2019t come from any single review. It comes from layers of testing, validation, and continuous improvement.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The security initiative arrives as XRP Ledger developers continue preparing the network for more advanced financial applications, including tokenization and decentralized finance services.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">XRP supply debate continues alongside network upgrades<\/h2>\n<p>While developers focus on protocol security, discussion around XRP\u2019s token economics has continued within the community.<\/p>\n<p>As previously reported by crypto.news, pro-XRP attorney and commentator Bill Morgan recently argued that Ripple should reduce the amount of XRP it returns to escrow following its monthly token unlocks.<\/p>\n<p>Morgan wrote that Ripple \u201cshould release more of the 1 billion each month and not lock so much back in escrow,\u201d contending that a faster release schedule could accelerate XRP\u2019s path toward full circulation.<\/p>\n<p>According to Morgan, removing the remaining escrow overhang sooner would strengthen XRP\u2019s argument as a hard-money asset because market participants could evaluate the token without future scheduled releases hanging over supply expectations.<\/p>\n<p>Not all holders share that view. Some traders have argued that larger token releases could increase selling pressure if demand growth fails to match the increase in circulating supply, while others contend that the net amount Ripple ultimately keeps out of escrow carries more weight than the headline unlock figure itself.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, market participants responded positively to the latest XRPL security developments. XRP (XRP) price rallied about 3.6% from $1.12 to an intraday high of $1.16 on June 22 before easing to around $1.14 at the time of writing.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>XRP Ledger has deployed fixes for several software issues after a security review uncovered edge cases and bugs in the network\u2019s core implementation.
