XRP ledger resumes operations after a brief network disruption

The XRP Ledger has fully resumed operations after an unexpected disruption in transaction validation caused the network to halt for about an hour on Feb. 5, 2025. RippleX confirmed that XRP Ledger has resumed activity though the exact cause of the disruption is still unclear. Ripple’s Chief Technology Officer, David Schwartz, acknowledged the issue in his post on X , stating that validators had stopped publishing confirmations despite the consensus mechanism functioning normally. His preliminary observations suggest that servers may have deliberately withheld validations to prevent incorrect ledger acceptance. The network is now recovering.

Several nodes crashed and restarted simultaneously, leading to a temporary halt in transaction processing. Ripple addressed the issue by urging validators and node operators to upgrade to the latest version, Rippled 2.3.0, to enhance network stability and prevent similar incidents. Despite the disruption, Ripple ( XRP ) price remained relatively stable, trading at approximately $2.50, with a 4% change over the last 24 hours.
