Ripple unveiled a strategic roadmap to make the XRP Ledger (XRPL) resistant to quantum attacks.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s native token, XRP, has rebounded 5% over the past week, with some indicators suggesting a further ascent may be on the way.<\/p>\n

The Security Plan<\/h2>\n

J. Ayo Akinyele, Head of Engineering at Rippe, revealed<\/a> that the firm has partnered with Project Eleven to introduce a \u201cmulti-phase roadmap targeting full readiness by 2028.\u201d The initiative\u2019s main goal is to evaluate quantum threats, roll out hybrid models alongside existing systems, and define a clear migration path. In the aftermath, it should make XRP Ledger, the core infrastructure that underpins Ripple\u2019s ecosystem, protected against quantum attacks.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIt is a fundamental architectural shift in how digital assets are secured over the long term. This transition will impact key management, validator infrastructure, and how users interact with the network,\u201d he posted on X.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Google\u2019s quantum research team recently warned<\/a> that future machines could pose real risks to today\u2019s cryptography much sooner than people expected. This is why the topic has been trending, prompting developers to act fast before it is potentially too late.<\/p>\n

More Support for RLUSD<\/h2>\n

Besides its popular cryptocurrency XRP, Ripple launched a stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the American dollar. The product, dubbed RLUSD, debuted in late 2024 and has since made significant progress. Currently, its market capitalization stands at roughly $1.44 billion, making it the 54th-biggest cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n

Some well-known exchanges that have listed RLUSD in recent months include <\/a>Binance, Kraken, Bybit, Gemini, and more. Earlier this month, Bitrue made<\/a> the stablecoin available as margin for futures trading.<\/p>\n

XRP and the Whales<\/h2>\n

As of this writing, Ripple\u2019s native token trades at around $1.43, up 5% on a weekly basis. It has followed the broader market\u2019s resurgence, while recent whale activity suggests additional gains may be on the way.<\/p>\n

The renowned analyst Ali Martinez revealed<\/a> that large investors have purchased 360 million XRP over the past week. The USD equivalent of the stash is more than $500 million, and this group of market participants now holds a total of 8.73 billion coins (14% of the asset\u2019s circulating supply).<\/p>\n

Such accumulations show strong conviction among whales, while smaller players may be encouraged to mimic their move, thereby injecting fresh capital into the ecosystem.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, institutional investors have renewed their interest in the asset, which could be interpreted as another bullish sign. Data shows that spot XRP ETFs have attracted substantial capital, witnessing a 7-day green streak: something last observed at the start of March.<\/p>\n
