XRP Ledger Reset on November 25: Will XRP Holders Be Affected?

The XRP Ledger reset on November 25 sounds alarming, but XRP holders have nothing to worry about.

Only Testnet and Devnet, the two practice networks used by developers, will be wiped between 5 PM and 6 PM Pacific Time.

The XRP Ledger Mainnet, where real XRP lives, keeps running as usual.

This is maintenance for builders, not a risk for holders.

Key Takeaways

• XRPL Testnet and Devnet will be reset on 25 November 2026, deleting all test accounts, tokens and AMMs.
• The XRP Ledger Mainnet is not affected, so real XRP balances and transactions remain safe.
• Developers need fresh test XRP from the faucet to rebuild their setups.

What Is the XRP Ledger Reset on November 25?

XRP Ledger Operations announced on 10 November that Testnet and Devnet will be reset on Wednesday, 25 November 2026, between 5 PM and 6 PM PT, which is 01:00 to 02:00 UTC on 26 November.

Here's what each XRP network does:

• Mainnet is the live XRP Ledger, where real XRP is sent, held and traded.
• Testnet closely mirrors Mainnet so developers can test apps without risking real money.
• Devnet previews proposed and upcoming features before they reach Mainnet.

Testnet relied on a single full history server, which crashed and cannot be recovered without a reset.

Ripple is upgrading server storage to prevent repeat crashes and reduce future resets.

The XRP Ledger's institutional design depends on Mainnet stability, which is why testing happens elsewhere.

Will XRP Holders Be Affected?

No, the XRP network reset only touches test networks.

The reset deletes all Testnet and Devnet data, from accounts and balances to offers, AMMs and escrows.

None of it has real value, because test XRP is free practice money.

Unlike Mainnet, these test networks are run by Ripple, which is why they can be reset at all.

Here's what stays the same for XRP holders:

• XRP balances on exchanges and personal wallets remain unchanged.
• Mainnet payments, trading and transfers continue without interruption.
• No action, migration or wallet update is required from holders.

Anyone claiming holders must reset, migrate or verify a wallet because of this event is running a scam.

The XRP price is moving for market reasons, not because of the reset.

What Do XRPL Developers Need to Do?

Developers will need to rebuild their test environments after the reset.

Here's what changes for builders after 25 November:

• New test XRP must be requested from the faucet to recreate accounts.
• The faucet can fund the same address again if code depends on it.
• AMMs recreated after the reset will usually have different account addresses.
• Operators of xrpld servers on Testnet or Devnet should delete database data and restart.

Testnet amendment statuses will be restored to match Mainnet, while important URLs, the Network ID and validator settings stay the same.

Developers should never reuse addresses or key pairs between Mainnet and test networks.

Bitrue AI Strategies for XRP During the Selloff

While the reset is a non event for price, XRP itself is under pressure.

On 13 November, XRP briefly slipped below $1 for the first time since August before recovering to around $1.02.

It has fallen about 23% since 4 November amid liquidations and ETF outflows.

According to Bitrue Research Institute, the $1.00 area is now the key support, while a move back above $1.15 would be the first sign of recovery.
