- Ripple CTO David Schwartz says the XRPL hub server is nearly production ready.
- The hub server will enhance connectivity between critical XRPL nodes for stronger resilience.
- A brief monitoring glitch was dismissed as unrelated to the hub server project.
Ripple CTO David Schwartz just gave a positive update on a new “hub server” he’s building to improve the XRP Ledger’s (XRPL) resilience. He said he’s been running the server in a test environment and, based on its stability, believes it’s nearly ready for production.
The system is expected to make XRPL’s network more resilient by ensuring that crucial nodes remain better connected, even under stress.
Progress on Hub Server
According to Schwartz, the project marks his return to running production infrastructure after a long break, which he described as both fun and challenging.
The hub server is set to play a critical role in strengthening XRPL’s backbone, helping to reduce risks of network fragmentation and maintaining high levels of performance as transaction demand continues to scale.
The bigger vision. This hub server is just one piece of the puzzle. Here’s our report into David Schwartz’s broader vision for the XRPL.
Minor Glitch Dismissed as Monitoring Issue
Alongside the progress update, Schwartz addressed a short-lived glitch that occurred within the past 24 hours. The CTO clarified that the event was not related to the hub server and instead appeared to be a monitoring error.
He noted that XRPL processed 11,000 requests per second from 173 peers with solid performance metrics, suggesting that the underlying ledger was unaffected.
The glitch lasted for about one minute, during which monitoring data was temporarily unavailable.
Schwartz said improvements to the collector are in progress and should prevent similar incidents in the future. He reassured the community that the hub server project remained on track.
XRP Faces Market Pressure
On the market side, XRP is experiencing renewed selling pressure. The cryptocurrency recently lost a key support level at $3 and is now trading at $2.98, down 4.5% in the last 24 hours, as per CoinMarketCap.
Trading volume surged by 37.21%, suggesting that traders are actively capitalizing on volatility. XRP is also trading below both the 20-day and 50-day moving averages, which currently sit at $3.06 and $3.09 respectively.
The backdrop. All of this price action happens in XRP’s post-lawsuit environment. Here’s the story on the final closure of the SEC case.
XRP Price Analysis: Possible Decline to $2.60 or $2
Analyst Ali Martinez noted that XRP could be heading toward lower levels if it fails to reclaim support. His chart highlights a clear breakdown below $3, which had previously acted as a strong demand zone.
The next visible support sits near $2.60, aligning with a consolidation area from earlier in the year. If selling pressure intensifies, the price could revisit $2, a major historical support level that provided a strong rebound in June.
The analysis suggests that XRP’s price trajectory will largely depend on whether bulls can defend the $2.60 level.
A sustained close below that point could pave the way for a sharper correction, while a quick recovery above $3 would improve the near-term outlook.
