Ripple: Despite ongoing difficulties things are bullish



Bullish news from Ripple: Regardless of the conflict with the SEC, trading in the company's own cryptocurrency XRP is booming.


XRP's daily trading volume doubled in the second quarter of 2021. The cryptocurrency from Ripple behaved like the whole of the crypto market. Any negative economic effects of the legal dispute between Ripple and the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) are therefore not too significant.



The numbers come from a quarterly report that Ripple published in a blog post on July 29th . The daily XRP trading volume averaged $ 2.26 billion in the first quarter of the year. In the three months that followed, it rose to $ 4.492 billion. The XRP sales made by Ripple also increased from $ 150.3 million to $ 157.9 million.


XRP development correlated with bull market

The Ripple report shows that the positive development of XRP cannot be viewed in isolation from the overall trend in the crypto market. Both the trading volume and the price of the cryptocurrency peaked in April, at the same time as the Bitcoin all-time high.


The authors of the blog post also go into the volatility in the crypto market, which again came to bear in the second quarter of the year. With the ongoing price fluctuations, they have seen a multitude of factors at work over the past few months. It mentions ransomware attacks, regulatory concerns and Elon Musk's tweets. As a further factor influencing market developments, they identify a rising fear of inflation, which leads investors, as is well known, to looking for alternatives to fiat currencies.


By the way, XRP was more volatile than the key currencies Bitcoin and Ether.



Ripple vs. SEC 

All in all, the first half of the year seems to have been favorable for XRP and Ripple. If it weren't for the ongoing conflict with the SEC, which is likely to cloud the joy of the doubled trading volume somewhat.


As a reminder, the US Securities and Exchange Commission claims that XRP is not just a token, but a security. The litigation based on this argument began last December. Ripple has been accused of distributing securities without authorization for 7 years. The company faces a fine of up to $ 1.3 billion.


Against this claim, Ripple argues that the SEC failed to notify Ripple of the violation of the rules. The XRP publisher recently achieved success in court. Former SEC official William Hinman is due to appear as a witness. Hinman is known for his view that cryptocurrencies are not viewed as securities.


The procedure itself is still in a phase of preparation. Both parties exchange documents. In the blog post, Ripple promises to do everything possible to “move the case forward as quickly as possible”.

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...
