XRP gets more support from Bitrue with listing of 10 new XRP trading pairs
Cryptocurrency exchange Bitrue expands XRP support with listing of 10 new pairs. XRP will act as a base pair for cryptocurrencies MANA, SAND, ALGO, BTTC, HBAR, AAVE, CHZ, DENT, APE, and AR, according to a recent tweet from the XRP-enabled crypto exchange.
According to WhaleStats, XRP remains one of the most used smart contracts among the top 1,000 BSC whales in the last 24 hours. As reported by U.Today, the XRPL now has a testnet that offers smart contracts. According to XRPL Labs, Hooks Testnet V2 was quietly introduced a few months ago.
The Hooks Builder, a web-based development environment that allows developers to build, test, deploy, trigger, and troubleshoot Layer 1 smart contracts on XRPL, was also recently announced.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s claims of attorney-client privilege were rejected by Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn in a victory for Ripple. “The documents must be produced,” she concluded.
The judge slammed the SEC for “hypocrisy” over its claims that Hinman’s 2018 speech had no bearing on crypto regulation, while also saying that former SEC official William Hinman had obtained legal advice from SEC counsel.
“The evidence establishes that the predominant purpose of the communications was not to provide legal advice,” the court stated.
Ex-Ripple adviser confirmed as top Fed official
After being confirmed by the Senate to serve as vice president for oversight at the Federal Reserve, Michael Barra former adviser to Ripple, will occupy one of the most important regulatory positions in the United States.
In his new capacity, Barr, who served as a key Treasury Department official under former President Barack Obama, will have a say in how the traditional financial system interacts with cryptocurrencies, particularly stablecoins, which are essential to the crypto market as a whole.
