A key risk-management strategy is now coming into focus.
At first glance, the high risk-reward profile suggests more upside than downside. But in current market conditions, traders must ask whether they are willing to take on the risk for potential gains. That makes Ripple’s latest move on XRPL timely.
In a recent announcement, the XRPL Foundation outlined a new quantum-resistance roadmap. It will see the entire network upgraded to ML-DSA-44 (NIST Approved Post-Quantum Digital Signature) by 2028.
Under the proposal, account owners will be able to add a post-quantum public key to their accounts and deactivate their current signing keys. This would allow XRPL accounts to move from traditional cryptographic signatures to a system designed to withstand potential attacks from future quantum computers.
In short, Ripple is steering XRPL toward a more future-ready security model. As threats from quantum computing become a greater concern, network security could play an increasingly important role in investors’ long-term “risk-reward” assessment of $XRP.
Notably, this comes at an interesting time, with a lot of FUD in the market.
$XRP has not escaped the sell-off, with $1 looking extremely vulnerable. So, does XRPL’s quantum-resistant upgrade offer enough long-term potential to justify holding Ripple [$XRP] through the current downturn?
$XRP faces a risk-reward test as quantum hopes meet weak signals
The market is becoming increasingly divided over $XRP.
Some investors view this as a chance to buy the dip, seeing levels like $0.80 as a potential once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The XRPL quantum-resistance upgrade is also a positive for long-term $XRP holders. Bears, however, are growing louder as the “$XRP to zero” narrative takes hold.
This makes the chart below especially important. According to SoSoValue, Spot $XRP ETFs saw their largest single-day net outflows of the year on 9th November. More than $10 million was withdrawn from the funds, the biggest daily outflow since 9th March, when outflows exceeded $18 million.
This pointed to increasing selling pressure and weaker institutional demand for $XRP.
Together, weakening sentiment and rising ETF outflows may be shifting the balance further toward the bears.
This makes XRPL’s recent quantum-resistance upgrade less likely to improve $XRP’s near-term risk-reward setup. Broader market FUD, weak technicals, and sustained ETF outflows are adding to selling pressure, leaving significant downside risk.
As a result, the $XRP-to-zero narrative cannot be easily dismissed, even with the network’s long-term security improvements.
Final Summary
-
XRPL plans to introduce quantum-resistant security by 2028, boosting its long-term outlook.
-
$XRP faces growing selling pressure as ETF outflows top $10 million and bearish sentiment builds.
