Cryptocurrency exchange Kraken has become the latest platform to halt XRP trading for US residents from January 30, 2021, at 1:00 UTC due to SEC filing against Ripple Labs. For those users residing in other countries, XRP markets will continue to operate uninterrupted.
US residents with open XRP spot positions on the margin on Kraken are also required to satisfy their margin obligation by January 28, 2021, at 11:59 pm PT, or their positions will be liquidated.
While US residents won’t be able to trade XRP, these users will still be able to deposit, hold, and withdraw XRP on the exchange. Also, this will not affect Spark token airdrop.
As the list of crypto outlets suspending XRP trading for US users continues to get bigger, the digital asset continues to lose its value.
Among the top 100 crypto assets, XRP is not only the one with over 50% losses in the last 30 days but is also among a handful of cryptocurrencies that are experiencing a downtrend.
