XRP Adoption

The stigma of XRP being a security was mitigated after more and more exchanges began adding XRP to their platforms. Many are also adding XRP as base pairs.

CoinField, a cryptocurrency exchange, added 130+ pairs against XRP on their testnet for backtesting, before it was actually implemented.

Shari’a-compliant cryptocurrency exchange, Rain, added XRP to their roster for trading to their users. This announcement by Rain came after their partner, Shariya Review Bureau conducted an audit and deemed XRP Shari’a-compliant.

“They seem big in Asia … “In December 2017, it launched an office in Tokyo, Japan[22]and announced that it would set up two crypto exchanges in Japan in early 2018, through a partnership with Japanese financial group SBI Group.[23] In March 2018, Huobi announced that it will be launching in the United States.””

@Conkerman, another Reddit user commented,

“Isn’t this margin trading? If so, just makes a huge and very risky contract type more easily accessible to the average Joe…”
