Kraken, Crypto.com Join Coinbase in Relisting XRP After Court Ruling

The rush to make XRP available again to U.S. users comes in the wake of a partial ruling in the Securities and Exchange Commission's case against Ripple Lab. Federal district judge Analisa Torres ruled that the XRP token “is not necessarily a security on its face,” except when sold to raise funds from institutions. Although the case did not concern secondary sales of XRP, the decision to proclaim that it is not a security has boosted the confidence of crypto exchanges to offer the token.
