Will Centralized Exchanges Delist XRP?
Ryan Watkins, A research analyst at Messari , claimed that “Many cryptocurrency exchanges would be forced to delist it, so liquidity would dry up, XRP’s price would “crash hard” in this scenario.
On the other hand , Jake Chervinsky, lawyer and general counsel at decentralized finance app Compound, said that XRP could see a delisting from several regulated exchanges in the US.
Till now two exchanges, CrossTower and Beaxy, have delisted XRP. As per Beaxy exchange the customers can still withdraw XRP from their platform until further notice.
According to Kristin Boggiano, president of CrossTower Exchange
“CrossTower’s listing committee evaluates tokens along multiple dimensions,” said the firm, which opened in June. “One of the criteria is whether an asset is security. Given the uncertainty regarding XRP’s status, CrossTower has decided to delist XRP.
Cryptocurrency exchanges that continue to list XRP are at risk of being asked to register. Otherwise, these exchanges might face penalties for allowing retail consumers to trade unregistered security. So, many crypto exchanges are likely to delist XRP as time proceeds.
