An XRP bridge lost about $200,000 after its software allegedly treated fake deposits as real transactions.
The incident raised concerns about bridge software and transaction verification systems.
The attacker reportedly exploited a flaw that allowed false deposit messages to trigger withdrawals.
Developers are investigating the software failure and reviewing the bridge’s security controls.
The exploit affected the bridge infrastructure rather than the XRP Ledger itself.
Bridge protocols connect different blockchain networks and can become targets for technical attacks.
XRP (CRYPTO:XRP) continues trading normally while the bridge operators investigate the incident and possible security changes.
