📰 DeFi Lost Hundreds of Millions to Flash Loans — XRP Ledger Says It Can’t Happen There
🗓️ May 31 2026 09:44 UTC - Trader Edge
XRP Ledger's atomic transaction design makes flash loan attacks impossible, as DeFi losses on other chains pass hundreds of millions.
➤ The XRP Ledger (XRPL) claims its atomic transaction design makes flash loan attacks impossible, a vulnerability that has cost other DeFi protocols hundreds of millions.
➤ This structural impossibility is due to XRPL's inability to chain multiple operations within a single transaction, unlike Ethereum's composable smart contracts.
➤ Despite the trade-off in composability for enhanced security, XRPL is seeing growth in tokenized real-world assets and institutional interest, with a recent pilot involving Ripple, JPMorgan, Mastercard, and Ondo Finance.
