# XRP Ledger lending code fix scheduled ahead of feature approval

Attributed sources: [CoinDesk](<https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2026/10/19/xrp-ledger-is-set-to-fix-its-lending-code-before-anyone-can-use-it>)

## Key facts

A report states that XRP Ledger validators were preparing a bug-fix patch for lending code, while the lending system it partly repairs reportedly remained short of the votes needed for approval. This is a media report, not a confirmed official statement or independent verification of the code's status.
News evidence score: 30/100 from 1 publisher group(s) (CoinDesk); this measures source completeness, not truth or causation.
No complete post-detection return window is available yet.
In the preceding 30 days, the 99th percentile of absolute hourly returns was 2.29% (OKX · USDT; cutoff 20/10/2026, 13:40, UTC+8). This hourly baseline is not directly comparable with a minute move.
