Genesis joined the growing list of crypto platforms to get all XRP-related services off their platform over XRP’s security allegations. Yesterday Coinbase, OKCoin and Bittrex announced the delisting of the XRP token.
XRP Future remains uncertain as its price skips the nose
The XRP award was massively accused after security and filed by the SEC against parent company Ripple Labs and two of its senior executives. XRP lost its long-standing third place to Tether and later Litecoin turned it over to fourth place. The lawsuit against the SEC against Ripple is set to begin the trial with a conference on February 22nd. However, more than 10 crypto platforms have already deleted XRP from their platform in fear of the SEC taking action.
The XRP token has already lost 80% of its market capitalization within a week of the lawsuit, and as more and more exchanges delist the token, it is almost no longer tradable. Many fear that XRP will soon lose liquidity due to mass delisting and will no longer exist regardless of the outcome of the lawsuit.
Ripple in its defense has claimed that the SEC’s action would cause undesirable problems for hundreds of its investors and called for the unity of the crypto community. While some crypto exchanges and partners like SBI Holdings expanded their support to the crypto community, many Bitcoin proponents who warned about Ripple’s pump and dump from XRP felt that their claims had come true.
