Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has shown support for Ripple in their struggle against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
- In a series of recent Twitter posts, Armstrong stated that the company’s case is supposedly going “better than expected.”
- Armstrong emphasized that launching attacks against the crypto industry and harming investors is “politically unpopular.”
- The chief of the largest American exchange channeled Ripple’s talking point over the SEC hurting consumers rather than protecting them.
- Armstrong’s tweets reignited potential rumors over Coinbase potentially relisting XRP on its exchange platform.
- The exchange suspended XRP trading following a lawsuit filed by the SEC against Ripple on January 19 that led to the significant price drop.
- Coinbase relisting rumors started making social media rounds after XRP trading pairs showed up on the company’s mobile application last month, which eventually was determined to be a bug.
Despite ongoing legal challenges, XRP has remained resilient, with crypto investor Mike Novogratz noting that the crypto has nearly tripled in value since the SEC filed its complaint.
