Recent XRP news
Ripple, the parent company of XRP has been facing regulatory issues over the past year as it continues to fend off the Securities Exchange Committee (SEC). The company’s legal woes began when the SEC filed a lawsuit alleging that Ripple had breached the securities laws during the sale of its tokens. The lawsuit is currently still ongoing between both parties. However, Ripple has had some positive news over the past month with its recent 250 million fund for NFT creators and also its intentions to launch wrapped XRP (wXRP) on the Ethereum blockchain, which would allow XRP holders to participate in DeFi. Another most notable news that has been floating around for a while now has been the speculation that Ripple might be going public in an IPO subsequent to the lawsuit.
