# XRP Ledger Fix for Stablecoin Issuance Flaw Is on Track for Wednesday

The XRP Ledger is preparing a fix for a flaw that could have allowed stablecoin partners to create additional tokens. Activation is now on track for Wednesday after validator support briefly fell and restarted the network’s two-week countdown; XRP itself is unaffected.

## Key takeaways

- The XRP Ledger fix is on track to activate Wednesday.
- The flaw could have let stablecoin partners issue additional tokens.
- Validator support briefly dipped, restarting the two-week activation countdown.
- XRP itself is unaffected by the reported flaw.

The XRP Ledger is on track to activate a fix on Wednesday for a flaw that could have let stablecoin partners issue extra tokens. The issue concerns token issuance on the ledger, not XRP itself, which the report says is unaffected.

## Why was the XRP Ledger upgrade delayed?

Activation depends on validator support and a two-week countdown. Support briefly dipped, restarting that clock and pushing back the expected timing. The fix is now again scheduled for Wednesday.

## What should stablecoin users watch for?

The concrete next step is whether the fix activates on Wednesday. The source does not name the stablecoin partners or quantify how many tokens could have been issued, so there is no basis here to assess the potential scale of the flaw.

For XRP holders, the reported issue is not a change to XRP or a claim that XRP balances are at risk. The concern is specifically about stablecoin partners’ ability to issue tokens on the ledger, making the activation status more relevant to those projects and their users.
