XRP Price Could Be Set for a Shake-Up as Ripple Puts XRPL Lending Protocol Through AI-Only Security Test
- XRP-USD
-
Ripple has launched an AI-only security review of XRPL Lending Protocol V1.1 using Sherlock’s Audit Engine.
-
XRP has gained roughly 20% over the past week, briefly hitting $1.70 before pulling back.
-
XRP ETFs recorded seven consecutive days of inflows totaling $106 million, adding institutional momentum.
Ripple has begun an AI-only security review of its XRP Ledger Lending Protocol V1.1, putting artificial intelligence at the center of an audit that could prove important for XRPL’s push deeper into decentralized finance.
Sherlock announced that Ripple is using its Audit Engine to conduct an intensive review of the protocol.
The system combines multiple AI auditors and frontier models equipped with specialized security capabilities, adjusting the depth of testing according to the protocol’s complexity and potential attack surface.
The audit comes at a pivotal moment for XRP. The token has gained around 20% over the past week after breaking above its 200-day exponential moving average for the first time since October 2025.
Ripple Puts XRPL Lending Protocol Through AI-Only Audit
Sherlock said its Audit Engine will review Lending Protocol V1.1 without relying on conventional human-led auditing, making Ripple one of the more prominent crypto companies experimenting with AI-only security analysis.
The significance extends beyond the technology used for the audit.
A native lending protocol could expand XRP Ledger’s DeFi capabilities by allowing users to access onchain credit markets directly within the ecosystem.
That makes security particularly important, as lending protocols can concentrate large pools of capital and have historically been frequent targets for crypto exploits.
The test also comes as the industry reassesses traditional audits.
CoinGecko found that roughly 60% of crypto platforms exploited since early 2025 had previously undergone independent audits, although most attacks targeted vulnerabilities outside the scope of conventional audits.
Sherlock said it will publish further details once the XRPL review is complete.
XRP ETF Inflows Add Fuel to $1.80 Target
The security review arrives as XRP enjoys renewed institutional demand.
XRP-linked ETFs recorded their seventh consecutive day of positive flows on Wednesday, attracting a combined $106 million over that period
XRP also recently reclaimed its 200-day EMA at around $1.35, triggering a sharp short squeeze that propelled the token to as high as $1.70.
Buyers subsequently defended the $1.35 region after profit-taking pushed prices lower. That level now represents a crucial technical line for bulls.
