Crypto Market News: US based crypto solutions provider Ripple on Friday announced a new entrant to its Board Of Directors. Ripple is currently in the spotlight as the crypto market participants await summary judgement in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) lawsuit. Yet, if the company comes out victorious in the lawsuit, it could have a distinct advantage of having fought the regulators very early in the crypto adoption phase.
