Breaking: Top US Exchange Faces Snag Over Huge XRP Demand

Crypto Market News: The sudden judgment in the Ripple vs SEC lawsuit caused technical snags in a major United States based crypto exchange, thanks to the massive demand for XRP tokens on Thursday. The court’s ruling in Ripple’s favour against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) led to an increase in activity on the platform. Judge Analisa Torres declared that XRP is not a security in what could be forever known as one of the most prominent rulings in the web 3.0 ecosystem. Meanwhile, the euphoria around Ripple is spreading elsewhere in the crypto market, potentially starting an altcoin rally.

According to the ruling, the programmatic sales in XRP don’t constitute investment contracts. This could prove to be a very important and useful precedent not just for other crypto token issuers but also lawmakers and regulatory agencies around the world. Interestingly, Ripple had been inking partnerships with several companies across jurisdictions for providing payments services, despite the restrictions on XRP by US based crypto exchanges. Hence, the company now stands in a pole position to further strengthen its base in the blockchain payments space.
