Former Director of Ripple Teases Exciting News for Ripple & XRP

Excitement and skepticism are swirling among XRP enthusiasts as former Ripple director, Sean McBride, hints at “big” developments on the horizon. McBride took to Twitter to tease the upcoming news, sparking anticipation within the community. However, some remain wary due to past letdowns from major companies that promised to integrate Ripple’s technology but ultimately failed to deliver.

One such example is Western Union, whose experiments with Ripple’s technology proved unsuccessful. Additionally, MoneyGram ended its partnership with Ripple following charges from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). These disappointments cast doubt on McBride’s assurance of significant news from Ripple.

In the midst of this speculation, Ripple continues its legal battle with the SEC. The company has filed for a one-week extension to disclose its financial information, following a court ruling upholding the SEC’s demand for access to Ripple’s records. The deadline for disclosure, initially set for February 12, 2024, has been requested to be extended to February 20, 2024. Ripple’s aim is to gather and produce the substantial volume of documents required by the SEC, and the regulatory agency has agreed to this extension.

Complicating matters further, a recent hacking incident involving the disappearance of over 200 million XRP tokens from a co-founder’s wallet has raised concerns about the security vulnerabilities in the cryptocurrency market.

The ongoing legal battle between Ripple and the SEC has ignited debates regarding the classification of XRP as a security. As the “big news” unfolds, Coinpedia will be keeping a close eye on the developments that will shape the future of Ripple, XRP, and the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem.
