LATEST: The XRP Ledger's new v3.2.0 upgrade is adopted by 89% of trusted validators but only 43% of all active nodes, with a bundled security amendment still in the voting phase requiring 80% UNL support to activate.

What happened

The XRP Ledger’s v3.2.0 software upgrade has been installed by 89% of trusted validators but only 43% of all active nodes, and a related security amendment is still being voted on, needing 80% UNL support to become active.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

A high adoption rate among trusted validators means the core network can run the new features, but low overall node uptake and the pending security amendment create uncertainty about full network security and stability.

Analyst inference

XRP’s price and investor sentiment often react to ledger upgrades because they can affect transaction speed, cost, and confidence in the platform’s reliability, which in turn influences demand for the token.

Analyst inference

What to watch

1. Whether the security amendment reaches the required 80% UNL (Unique Node List) support, which would lock in the new security features and could boost confidence among users and investors. Proposed
2. The pace at which the remaining active nodes adopt v3.2.0, because broader adoption reduces fragmentation and improves overall network performance and reliability. Proposed
3. Any announcements from major XRP ecosystem partners about using the new upgrade, as their adoption can drive demand for XRP and signal the upgrade’s practical impact. Proposed
