XRP news today is focused on institutional adoption, the approaching XRP Ledger upgrade and expanded derivatives access, while XRP trades at $1.58, up 2.34% over 24 hours and 23.02% over seven days as of 23 September 2026. The XRP Ledger’s Batch V1.1 amendment is the main near-term network development. A report published on 22 September said 30 of 35 validators supported the amendment, exceeding the 28-validator threshold required for activation. If that support remains in place throughout the voting period, the upgrade is expected to go live around 29 September.
