XRP Announces Major Reset on November 25 – Will Price React?
Ripple has announced that two XRP Ledger test networks, Testnet and Devnet, will be wiped clean on November 25 after a server crash made recovery impossible.
The wipe will permanently erase testing accounts, transaction records, balances, and trading setups on the two networks. Developers will need to rebuild their testing environments from scratch.
Ripple says a server storing Testnet’s complete transaction history crashed and cannot recover without a reset. The company is also increasing storage capacity to prevent similar problems in the future.
Ripple emphasizes that the resets affect only Testnet and Devnet. The main XRP Ledger network will continue operating normally, meaning holders can send, receive, and trade their tokens without interruption.
The resets affect Testnet and Devnet only. Other networks, including Mainnet, will continue to operate as usual.
XRP traded around $1.03 on November 12, after a weekly decline of more than 15%. The timing of the reset has raised questions about whether it could further damage investor confidence.
However, there is no evidence connecting the planned maintenance to XRP’s recent losses. The reset does not change XRP’s supply, ownership, or live network operations, so its direct impact on the token’s value should be limited.
For investors, the key date is November 25. A successful reset would remove an infrastructure problem, while unexpected technical complications could raise fresh concerns. Broader crypto-market sentiment will likely remain the bigger driver of XRP’s price.
