Heading: Coinbase Restores XRP Trading in New York After Nine-Month Hiatus

After a nine-month hiatus, XRP trading is once again available for customers in New York on Coinbase, as announced by the Chief Legal Officer, Paul Grewal. This news comes as a relief to many investors and speculators who have been eagerly awaiting the return of XRP trading on the popular platform.

The reinstatement of XRP trading in New York follows a tumultuous period for the cryptocurrency, which faced regulatory challenges after the SEC filed a lawsuit against Ripple Labs in 2020. This led to several exchanges, including Coinbase, delisting XRP due to concerns about its classification as an unregistered security.

However, a significant turning point came in 2023 when a court ruling determined that secondary sales of XRP did not constitute securities sales. This paved the way for exchanges to relist XRP, including Coinbase, which reinstated trading on its platform.

Despite this positive development, XRP continued to face regulatory hurdles in certain regions, including New York. The NYDFS removed Ripple Labs from its approved “Greenlist,” prompting Coinbase to suspend XRP trading for New York residents. The recent collaboration between Coinbase and the state has now resulted in the restoration of XRP trading rights for customers in New York.

Following the announcement, XRP’s price experienced a positive reaction, with a slight increase from $0.51 to nearly $0.53. However, the cryptocurrency has been on a downward trend since reaching its recent high of $0.74 on March 12, 2024.

Overall, the reinstatement of XRP trading on Coinbase in New York marks a significant milestone for the cryptocurrency and its investors, signaling a step towards regulatory clarity and market stability.
