XRP Ledger’s Batch upgrade slips to Oct. 9 after validator support resets

XRP Ledger's Batch upgrade, initially set for Sept. 29, is delayed to Oct. 9 after validator support briefly dropped. The feature allows multiple transactions to be submitted together. RippleX's head of engineering noted projects are being built around Batch, but no partners or launch dates were named. Validator support has since recovered, starting a new two-week countdown.
