XRP price $1.39, lending function at 17 of 25 votes: how to verify the vote count yourself

The XRP price stands at $1.3937 on Sunday morning and has barely moved for the third day running. More interesting than the price this weekend is what is being voted on in the XRP Ledger: a clean-up update has reached the required majority of validators and arms itself automatically on Friday, October 23. The lending function, on which Ripple's business plan for 2027 hangs, by contrast still sits at 17 of the 25 votes needed. Both figures come from the same source, namely the running amendment vote in ledger 107,580,127.
