XRP Ledger falls short of 80% support for BatchV1_1 upgrade

2 min

Ripple’s XRP trades at $1.41, down 1.03%. Validators on the XRP Ledger are voting on the BatchV1_1 amendment, which would allow accounts to bundle up to eight transactions into a coordinated operation. Live data on September 8 shows 68.57% support on the default Unique Node List: 24 of 35 validators voting yes, short of the 80% supermajority required to start a 14-day activation window. If support drops below 80% at any point during that window, the timer resets. Ripple’s commentary describes the amendment as enabling new use cases, but activation timelines remain contingent on at least five additional validators switching to yes.

Price levels and scenarios

Demand zone: $1.35–$1.38 with high traded volume. Key supports: $1.27 and $1.15–$1.20. Bull case: reclaiming $1.40–$1.43 opens $1.47, then $1.68–$1.72, with some analyses linking this to a potential run at $1.90–$2.00. Base case: range-bound price action at $1.36–$1.40 pending catalysts such as Batch activation. Bear case: a break below $1.35 brings $1.27 into focus. Ripple’s RLUSD settlement rail effort provides a fundamental tailwind, but sustained momentum has not materialized.

Capital rotation and alternative plays

Reaching $1.68 at current market capitalization requires significant capital inflows due to large-cap arithmetic. Some traders are shifting to earlier-stage infrastructure projects aiming for higher percentage moves. LiquidChain is highlighted as a Layer 3 infrastructure project designed to unify Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana liquidity into a single execution environment with a deploy-once model. Presale price: $0.014953. Reported funds raised: $962,000. Features: Unified Liquidity Layer, Single-Step Execution, Verifiable Settlement.
