18 trillion fake XRP almost got minted in a single transaction. An AI from Veria Labs found a decade-old bug in the XRP Ledger that put the entire $94B market cap at risk. The breakdown: • 184x total XRP supply could have been minted instantly • Survived 10 years of audits and $1M+ in bounties • XRPL shipped an emergency fix in 3 days, skipping standard voting • Never exploited in the wild RippleX paid out a record $250K bounty. The whitehats got there first.
