Ripple: Loyal fan base campaigns for XRP rehabilitation

A social media campaign by the XRP Army aims to motivate the crypto exchanges to resume trading in XRP. Many had canceled their Ripple offer in the face of the SEC lawsuit. There is already a first resumption.

In the course of the legal dispute between Ripple and the SEC, a large number of crypto exchanges suspended trading in XRP. Nevertheless, the price has recently increased significantly, while the prices of other cryptocurrencies tended to turn down. One reason for this could be a campaign that loyal Ripple fans started under the hashtag #RelistXRP. The aim is to ensure that trading with XRP is possible again. The fan base is also called “XRP Army” by the scene. She feels that it is unfair that the exchanges have removed Ripple (XRP) from their ranges due to the legal tussle with the SEC.

In her opinion, the ongoing legal process should not affect trading in digital asset. Even if it is not a crypto exchange, the loss of business partner MoneyGram Ripple certainly hurt one of the most. The hope of a resumption of business relations is still there if the dispute with the SEC turns for the better.

Ripple recently advertised itself and touted its network as the ideal solution for the cross-border use of CBDCs. It is argued that Ripple's network is playing a critical role in changing the dynamics of cross-border payments.

SBI Holdings is loyal to Ripple

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse is always calm in the face of the legal dispute. He recently stated that the legal proceedings would have no impact on business with business partners in Asia. Ripple partners in Asia like SBI Holdings have retained their support despite the difficult legal battle .

In Japan, XRP continues to be traded on crypto exchanges, where it is explicitly registered as “cryptocurrency assets” rather than “securities”. The dispute with the US Securities and Exchange Commission is precisely about this controversial point. The latter had recently exacerbated their lawsuit, claiming that Garlinghouse and co-founder Larsen generated $ 159 million and $ 450 million in revenue from their XRP sales, respectively, after the lawsuit was filed.

The RelistXRP initiative has already reported its first success on Twitter. As a screenshot shows, the Swiss crypto exchange Lyyke is the first to resume trading with XRP. Registered users received an email announcing this step. Now the community is waiting for more trading venues to emulate lykke.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin...

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne...

Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs stolen through phishing on Instagram

Bored Ape Yacht Club ( BAYC ) developers announced on Monday that hackers have hijacked the official Instagram page of the popular NFT collection and posted links to a fake airdrop. Crypto enthusiasts who connected their MetaMask wallet to the rogue website subsequently had their Ape NFTs stolen. Apparently, the attack was planned to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the BAYC collection. This increased the "perceived credibility" of the phishing link. About 100 NFTs are said to have been stolen in the phishing attack . According to CoinGecko data , the minimum price for a BAYC NFT is 139 Ether ( ETH ) or $400,726. So if reports are correct, over $40 million worth of NFTs were stolen in the attack. These numbers are only the lowest estimate, however, as they are based on the lowest price. At the time of writing, it was still unclear how the hackers gained access to BAYC's official Instagram account. Social media users have pointed out the importance of two-fact...
