$XRP The funniest incident with $XRP occurred in 2024 when Ripple integrated Ethereum-compatible smart contracts into the XRP Ledger. Users who decided to test the new feature accidentally sent tokens worth $500,000 to a test wallet that turned out to be… public! Hackers immediately tried to withdraw the funds, but due to a bug in the code, the transactions got stuck, and XRP briefly surged by 5% due to the hype. The community joked: 'Ripple wanted to attract developers but attracted comedians instead.' Meanwhile, Ripple's CTO David Schwartz wrote on X: 'We didn't expect smart contracts to become a meme.' This incident showed that even serious updates to XRP can turn into a circus if something goes wrong.
