The initial update described a surge in account activations, a spike in AccountSet transactions, and an increase in the number of multisignature operations, all occurring across a concentrated short period.

Vet indicated uncertainty about the actor behind the activity, but flagged the pattern as notable and worthy of further attention from observers and developers monitoring ledger health.

Follow-up: failed transactions traced to a scripting error

In a subsequent update, VET clarified that the earlier anomaly had a technical explanation. According to the validator, a custody provider’s internal script began issuing repeated transactions that did not complete because the provider’s account depleted its XRP balance.

The validator characterized the behavior as the result of an erroneous loop in the provider’s automation that repeatedly attempted transactions until funds were exhausted, which produced a stream of failed entries on the ledger. The validator described the failed attempts as automated and unintentional rather than deliberate network abuse.

BitGo topped up their account with fresh XRP and continues to activate accounts again, this time successfully.

What they up to remains unknown.

Hope the script is fixed now. https://t.co/FXVYqLaJy5 pic.twitter.com/lGbl0kNtwO

Recovery and resumed activations after funding

Vet’s most recent message confirms that the custody provider replenished its account with XRP and resumed successful account activations. The validator noted that account activations are now completing as intended, but emphasized that the underlying purpose of the batch activations remains unclear.

Vet expressed a cautious hope that the scripting issue that produced the earlier failed transactions has been corrected, while leaving open the question of what the provider’s operational objective is for the renewed activation activity.

Evidence and context from ledger snapshots

Images attached by the validator show an account labeled as a custody initialization wallet and list multiple outgoing payment transactions dated 11/12/2025 with individual amounts of 1.222500 XRP. The account summary in those snapshots records an available balance above 1,000 XRP after recent activity and traces the account’s activation and transaction history.

Those ledger entries corroborate the validator’s reporting of a high volume of activation-related transactions occurring within a short timeframe and of a period in which transactions failed when the account reached a low balance.

Implications and outstanding questions

The sequence of reports from the validator frames the incident as operational rather than malicious: automated scripts generating repeated attempts, a temporary depletion of funds, replenishment followed by resumed operations.

Key questions remain unanswered, chiefly the explicit intent behind the large-scale activations and whether any internal controls were changed to prevent future automation errors.

VET’s updates leave the matter open to further technical review by validators, node operators, and the custody provider involved, who may need to disclose remedial steps to prevent recurrence.

The incident, described by crypto commentator Skipper (@skipper_xrp) on X, comes after months of discussions about diminishing XRP reserves on exchanges and whether a tightening supply could influence future price movements.

BREAKING: TOP CRYPTO EXCHANGE RUNS OUT OF XRP#XRP Ledger went crazy after BitGo's wallet hit zero, flooding the network with failed payments and turning the blockchain into a spam factory for hours, before fixing the mistake with an XRP deposit.

A Wallet Error Turns Chaotic

According to his report, the issue began when BitGo’s automated system attempted to activate new XRP accounts. Each activation requires a 1 XRP reserve fee to establish a wallet on the network. When BitGo’s wallet balance dropped to zero, the system failed to halt its process. Instead, it repeatedly attempted transactions that could not be funded.

The loop of rejected payments soon filled the ledger with thousands of “UNFUNDED PAYMENT” entries. For several hours, these transactions congested the network’s mempool, leading some users to call the XRP Ledger a “spam factory.”

Although the network itself remained operational, the excess traffic disrupted transaction visibility and slowed confirmations for some users. BitGo resolved the issue by depositing 1,048 XRP into the affected wallet, stabilizing the automated account creation process. Once the balance was restored, the wave of failed payments subsided, and normal ledger activity resumed.

Shrinking Exchange Supply

Although BitGo’s wallet problem was a contained technical issue, it coincided with wider discussion in the XRP community about a possible supply shock. In recent months, Exchange data has shown smaller XRP balances, which some traders interpret as a sign that more tokens are moving into private wallets or long-term custody.

If that trend continues, it could limit the amount of XRP available for daily trading and create conditions similar to a supply shock. When liquidity on crypto exchanges contracts, even modest increases in buying pressure can have a stronger impact on asset prices.

Is XRP Experiencing a Supply Shock?

The XRP Ledger stabilized quickly after BitGo replenished its balance by 1,048 XRP, ending the wave of failed transactions. However, traders are still cautious. While XRP has not experienced a supply shock, many experts believe it is inevitable, and BitGo’s empty wallet has fueled that belief.

If that scenario unfolds, XRP could experience upward price pressure as market makers adjust to tighter inventories. Still, current movements remain within normal market ranges, and definitive evidence of a lasting supply shortage has not emerged.
