Ripple's Quantum Move While XRP Holds Steady

Ripple is stepping up its game against quantum computing threats, teaming with Project Eleven—a firm specializing in future-proofing systems. The U. S. government’s warning about quantum risks is clear: by 2035, outdated encryption must go. Even tech giants like Google and Cloudflare are pushing deadlines even earlier, to 2029. Blockchains, including XRP Ledger, aren’t immune to these risks. Most projects have only talked about solutions, but Ripple is treating this like a real engineering job.Project Eleven’s audit will dig into XRP Ledger’s security layers—validator nodes, wallets, and data transfers—to find weak spots. Their fix? Adding quantum-resistant layers on top of what’s already there and building a safer wallet prototype. Ripple has a head start with a system that can rotate keys and a network of validators ready for upgrades. This isn’t just planning for a far-off problem—it’s about being ready before the threat arrives. Meanwhile, XRP’s price is testing a key support level at $1. 36, a line it’s held three times since February’s drop to $1. 11. Above it, price gaps from the crash act like stepping stones for recovery. The first hurdle? A resistance zone around $1. 53 to $1. 55, which has pushed prices down twice before. If the trendline breaks below $1. 35, though, the slide could continue further.
