Ripple's Chief Technology Officer: The claim that "one billion XRP has been transferred" is misleading, the actual transfer amount is only worth a few cents
Ripple's Chief Technology Officer, David Schwartz, stated on social media that the claim of "one billion XRP being transferred" is misleading, as the actual amount transferred is only worth a few cents. Thanks to Bitfinex and Paolo Ardoino for effectively preventing attempts to exploit this loophole. This incident was not a flaw or vulnerability in the XRP ledger. Partial payment functionality is a standard and secure financial tool. Bitfinex handled it properly, thus preventing any potential issues. Today's setback powerfully reminds all institutions and applications that the importance of correct configuration and integration should not be underestimated.
