XRP CTO Teases Major XRPL Hub Update for Next Week

Ripple CTO David Schwartz has announced that his XRPL hub update may enter production next week after three days of stable tests. The XRPL hub update, a personal initiative, aims to strengthen XRP Ledger connectivity. It reserves Unique Node List slots and uses high-end hardware (multi-core CPU, large memory, NVMe storage, 10 Gbps link). The update is designed to reduce sync issues and boost network reliability. Traders should monitor performance metrics post-launch for latency, peer stability, and throughput improvements.
Bullish
Infrastructure updates typically support network stability and can boost trader confidence. In past, node upgrades on Ethereum improved throughput and reduced congestion, leading to a positive market sentiment. In the short term, improved XRPL performance may drive modest price gains as reliability attracts more volume. Long term, robust infrastructure underpins greater adoption, potentially supporting sustained bullish momentum for XRP.
