XRP Ledger’s Batch upgrade slips to Oct. 9 after validator support resets
Why now
Thesis: XRP feature timeline slips, near-term utility upgrade deferred
Catalyst to watch: Validators regaining 80% support to restart clock
Main risk: Further support drops could delay again
Why it matters
Delayed activation pushes back the network's ability to bundle transactions, slowing a usability upgrade XRP holders were anticipating.
Details
The feature would let users bundle up to eight transactions, including asset-and-payment transfers, but a brief drop below the network’s 80% support threshold restarted its two-week activation clock.
