Meanwhile, the reports of Grayscale selling a good 25% of its XRP holdings have been quashed by the company as it denied any such “large sales of underlying assets.”
As we reported the data from ByBt showed that Grayscale Investments’ sold 9.19 million XRP but now it shows that Grayscale’s XRP holdings have rather surged to 38.88 million as of Jan 1st, 2021 — an increase of 3.23 million XRP from Dec. 29.

Top exchanges like Binance, Bittrex, Bitstamp, and Coinbase have also discontinued XRP trading services for their US customers. Coinbase is also hit with a class-action lawsuit for allowing to trade XRP while knowing it was a security and profiting from the sale of the digital asset.
All these decisions have been made in the light of the recent Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) action against Ripple Labs, Inc. The SEC alleges that Ripple and its two top executives, co-founder Charis Larsen and CEO Brad Garlinghouse sold unregistered security XRP.
The initial pretrial conference between both parties has been set for late February.
