Coinbase wallet stops supporting Ripple (XRP)

 


As Coinbase announces in its own blog , the Coinbase wallet will soon no longer offer support for the XRP asset. The exchange stopped trading in the token back in January 2021. Could these decisions have something to do with the Ripple-SEC litigation?


As Coinbase announced yesterday , the platform's wallet will no longer support Ripple (XRP), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Ethereum Classic (ETC), and Stellar (XLM) assets and networks. This decision was allegedly made due to the low usage of these blockchains and will come into effect from January 2023 .


As early as January 2021, Coinbase delisted XRP from exchanges, soon removing the asset from its list entirely. XLM, BCH and ETC, on the other hand, are at least still traded on the Coinbase exchange.


Coinbase decision does not affect XRP price

While this announcement may arguably panic some Ripple investors, it doesn't appear to have impacted the token's price as of now. Whether with or without Coinbase - part of the community still seems convinced of XRP's success . 

Until recently, Coinbase supported Ripple in its fight with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) , but has now decided to remove the wallet integration for XRP as well. This decision caused divided opinion in the crypto community regarding Ripple's recent success in this lawsuit .


While some believe the actions taken by Coinbase would not affect the XRP vs. SEC case, others are now skeptical about XRP's victory. Since Coinbase was closely involved in the case, some are suspecting the exchange to have a premonition. Why would the platform stop trading the asset unless it had serious doubts about the success of the litigation? The community says it doesn't sound like XRP's chances of success in court are particularly good. This circumstance inevitably leads us back to the million-dollar question: Is XRP a security?

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...

Cardano: This is the vision that founder Charles Hoskinson has
