## Source summary

CoinDesk reports that XRP Ledger's BatchV1_1 upgrade briefly lost the more-than-80% trusted-validator support required for activation, restarting its two-week countdown. Support returned to 30 of 35 validators on Sept. 25, making Oct. 9 the earliest activation date if support holds. Batch would bundle up to eight transactions, including all-or-nothing payment and tokenized-asset transfers; it is not active yet.

## Why it matters

If activated, atomic payment-and-asset transfers could support tokenized-asset settlement, while permission delegation could separate payment and compliance duties. Both remain conditional software upgrades; CoinDesk names no live customer deployment.
