Approximately 89% of UNL validators have upgraded to xrpld v3.2.0, but the fixCleanup3_2_0 amendment has secured only 48.57% support—well below the 80% threshold required for activation on the XRP Ledger.

Nearly a month after the launch of xrpld v3.2.0, XRPScan data shows that just 357 out of 828 nodes (43%) have upgraded, while 426 nodes (51%) are still running the older v3.1.3 version.

This disparity reflects XRPL’s two-layer governance structure, where validator adoption advances faster than the broader node ecosystem. In effect, validator consensus—not total node participation—determines when the network is ready.

Meanwhile, XRP has dropped 3.5% in the past 24 hours, falling below $1.10 and currently trading at $1.09, with daily volume at $1.54 billion. The $1.10 level has once again turned into resistance, and until XRP reclaims it on a weekly close, upward momentum may remain limited.

From a network perspective, validator adoption is the key metric. With 31 of 35 UNL validators already on v3.2.0, the 80% threshold required for recognition has effectively been met, making the update the de facto standard. Around 61% of Ripple-operated validators have also upgraded.

For non-UNL nodes, upgrading is still optional at this stage. However, once related amendments are activated, nodes that lag behind risk losing connectivity—similar to what occurred during the v3.1.3 / Cleanup31_ cycle in May 2026.

The v3.2.0 release formally rebrands the core server from “rippled” to “xrpld” under XLS-0095 and introduces 30–40% lower memory usage, reducing infrastructure costs. It also delivers improvements in security, developer tooling, and overall network performance.

Focus is now shifting to the fixCleanup3_2_0 amendment, which has received only 17 of 35 validator votes so far. In addition to reaching 80% support, the amendment must maintain that level for two consecutive weeks before activation, with any drop resetting the timer.

If approved, the amendment will implement fixes across key XRPL components, including single-asset vaults, the native lending protocol, multi-purpose tokens, permissioned domains, and the permissioned DEX. These features were introduced during XRPL’s 2026 upgrade cycle, making fixCleanup3_2_0 a refinement update rather than a new feature release.

At this point, the central question is not whether xrpld v3.2.0 has enough validator support—it clearly does. The focus is whether fixCleanup3_2_0 can build enough momentum to cross the 80% threshold, and whether remaining nodes will upgrade before activation increases the risk of network fragmentation.

For DeFi participants and infrastructure operators, validator voting trends remain the most critical signal, as the amendment affects core systems such as lending, vaults, token standards, and permissioned trading infrastructure. Nodes that have yet to upgrade are running out of time before upgrade pressure intensifies.
