Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
The XRP Ledger Foundation has added a quantum-resistant signature proposal to its 2027 protocol roadmap, though the change remains unadopted with no confirmed timeline and existing accounts will not migrate automatically. The draft would replace the current secp256k1 and Ed25519 transaction signing with ML-DSA-44, part of the NIST-standardized ML-DSA family, and extend the new scheme to validator and validator-list publisher signatures. The proposal matters because it targets a long-term migration of the ledger's signing system ahead of quantum computing threats, but the roadmap classifies "Quantum" as a pending amendment rather than a committed feature. What to watch next is whether the amendment gains validator support and how a voluntary account transition path is defined.
