U.Today reports that the XRP Ledger is preparing to release a software update on December 3. The release is designed to provide a permanent correction for intermittent slow ledger closures, a performance problem that has affected the XRP Ledger network during the preceding weeks. The reported change is specifically focused on the consistency of ledger closures. The summary does not identify the underlying technical cause, the software version number, or the scope of implementation, so those details remain unavailable from the supplied coverage. This is a single-source report from U.Today, with no additional outlet coverage provided for comparison. Accordingly, the December 3 schedule and the stated permanence of the proposed fix are not independently corroborated in the supplied material.

Market conditions provide a subdued backdrop. XRP is priced at $1.026, down 1.57% over 24 hours and 14.50% over seven days, with a reported market capitalization of $65.19 billion. The total crypto market stands at $2.39 trillion and is broadly lower, while Bitcoin is down 5.89% over 24 hours. The Fear & Greed reading is 20, placing sentiment in Extreme Fear. The immediate issue to watch is whether the December 3 update resolves the recurring slow-closure problem as intended.
