⚡️GOOD NEWS: XRP Ledger patches a DECADE-OLD security flaw that could have created BILLIONS of dollars worth of XRP out of thin air. The bug, dating back to 2015, could have allowed attackers to generate and spend $XRP without funding it, potentially breaking the token's fixed supply of 100 BILLION XRP.
