History

Historical Context

Ripple Labs launched the XRP Ledger in 2012, aiming to streamline cross-border transactions. By 2021, the SEC sued Ripple, alleging XRP was an unregistered security, which significantly affected its market value. Following a recent court ruling in July 2023 that XRP is not a security, anticipation for spot ETF approvals reflects growing institutional interest in cryptocurrencies, reminiscent of the 2017 crypto boom.
