Ripple has confirmed that it patched a decade-old bug that could let anyone print infinite XRP tokens. The vulnerability could allow one to mint 18 trillion XRP with a single transaction, nearly 184x the current total supply, according to Cayden Liao of Veria Labs. Liao leads the AI firm that found the XRP bug, adding that it could have been the biggest crypto hack ever if left unmitigated. XRP's market cap was about $94B at the time the bug was found in late September.
