A prominent member of the XRP community, XRPcryptowolf, sees zero chance of a spot XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) making its debut on Wall Street throughout 2024.

The blockchain security firm will look to support open-source projects building security and privacy tools and services for Web3.

Ankr's integration with XDC Network will see critical functions of the two systems bridged into dApps and crypto wallets on the XDC chain, helping empower developers for efficiency gains across self-hosted XDC nodes.

The RPC Service is expected to support a regular request volume of up to 1,800 requests per second per chain.

Developers interested in building blockchain solutions can make use of Tencent Cloud Blockchain RPC for quick and efficient data queries, as well as transaction processing through a variety of blockchains such as Ethereum's mainnet, BNB Chain, and Polygon PoS.

Shiba Inu's much-anticipated Shibarium network, a layer-2 solution built on Ethereum, is gearing up for a fresh launch after encountering initial setbacks. The developers are diligently addressing the issues that plagued its debut, with hopes of a smoother second attempt. Network Improvement Efforts Underway Following a problematic launch that left the network stalled and funds trapped on a bridge, Shiba Inu's lead developer, Shytoshi Kusama, has provided an update on the project's progress. Kusama revealed that the team has been diligently working to optimize the network, stating, "After two days of testing and tweaking parameters to achieve 'ready' state Shibarium is now enhanced and optimized." This involved the implementation of fail-safe measures to prevent a recurrence of the previous outage. To bolster Shibarium's stability, the development team has introduced a series of further safeguards, including rate limiting at the RPC (Remote Procedure Call) level and an automatic server reset mechanism. These measures are expected to counteract the impact of sudden surges in traffic, which contributed to the network's initial troubles. Testing Success and Initial Hiccups During its testing phase, Shibarium demonstrated its potential by facilitating an impressive 22 million transactions across millions of wallets over four months. However, the official launch encountered severe disruptions. The network suffered an 11-hour transaction stall, leaving funds stranded due to an overload triggered by an unexpected influx of transactions. As reported by blockchain security firm PeckShield, around $1.7 million worth of ETH was stuck in the Shibarium Bridge as a result of the network failure. The development team clarified that the launch failure was not due to a bridge issue, as initially speculated. Instead, the network was overwhelmed by an unprecedented surge in user transactions, causing server failures. The influx of transactions far exceeded the servers' capacity to process them efficiently. Steps Toward Redemption The network has been temporarily closed to the public as the team focuses on resolving the underlying issues. Validators responsible for processing network transactions are now being gradually onboarded to pave the way for the network's reopening. This controlled approach aims to ensure a smoother experience upon relaunch. Shytoshi Kusama's recent update indicates that Shibarium's comeback is on the horizon. Additional validators are poised to join the network, expanding its operational capacity. However, the incident had a short-term impact on SHIB token prices, with a 4.3% drop in the past 24 hours, according to CoinGecko data.

After a partial Ripple’s win against the SEC, many believe that the latter will file an appeal – law expert James Murphy offers four possible future scenarios for the case. Ripple Wins the Lawsuit against the SEC... or not yet? On July 13, 2023, Judge Analise Torres partially ruled in favor of Ripple Labs in the case against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC), putting an end to a 3-year-long crusade. The historic victory made the XRP token skyrocket in value and sent the bullish wave to the whole crypto market. However, some believe that the battle is not over yet, as the SEC still has the option to file an appeal. Law expert James Murphy known on Twitter as “MetaLawMan” has shed some light on the matter. In his recent Tweet of July 25, Murphy identified four options the SEC currently has and described how each could work. So, What Could the SEC Do Next? According to the expert, the first option on the table for the SEC is to file a request for an interlocutory appeal. At the moment, the SEC doesn't have the unilateral right to appeal as the final judgment has not been entered yet. To proceed with an interlocutory appeal, the SEC would need to ask the permission of Judge Torres and the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. To get this permission, Murphy explains that the SEC would need to prove that: “The ruling involves a controlling question of law; There is substantial grounds for difference of opinion on that question; An immediate appeal may materially advance the litigation.” There’s no deadline for the initial request, although it’s likely to be done within 30 days. In case Judge Torres agrees, the SEC would have 10 days to seek permission from the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. The second option for the SEC is to start a trial on the aiding and abetting claim against Larsen and Garlinghouse and file a regular appeal after. Another potential path for the SEC is to drop the claim against Larsen and Garlinghouse. This would allow the SEC to take an immediate appeal without seeking permission. Finally, the SEC has the option to settle, although Murphey believes that it’s highly unlikely due to the political considerations. James Murphy concludes that the first option is the most probable because the SEC is under pressure to get the Torres decision reversed and because the Ripple case could influence lawsuits against other crypto platforms such as Coinbase and Binance. Overall, the expert is quite optimistic about the Ripple’s chances: “I expect the SEC to file a request for interlocutory appeal within the next 2 weeks. I believe it would be in the best interests of Ripple & the #XRPCommunity for the appeals process to start now--rather than a year from now. And I like Ripple's chances on appeal.” Meanwhile, the price of XRP has been shining green in the last 10 days, even though it still hasn’t reached a $1 mark.

After securing a partial win in its case involving the SEC, Ripple’s Managing Director for the UK and Europe revealed the firm recently applied for registration in the UK and Ireland. Ripple’s recent landmark victory in its case involving the SEC has spurred a renewed interest in the firm and its native token XRP. The firm is riding the wave of its current popularity and is setting its sights on expanding to the UK and the Republic of Ireland. Ripple Looks to Expand Operations to UK and Ireland Ripple’s European Managing Director, Sendi Young, told DL News in an interview the firm is in the process of obtaining approval in the UK and Ireland. While the company still sees the US as its global hub, Sendi said, “We are going to continue growing exponentially” in the UK and Europe. To that end, Young said Ripple “very recently” applied for crypto asset firm registration with the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and a payment institution license in the Republic of Ireland. During the interview, Ms Young stated: “We are in the process of applying for our crypto asset registration in the UK and our payments licence in Ireland. These are all massive investments with a view that we are going to continue growing exponentially in this region.” She, however, declined to provide a numerical target for the company’s UK and European growth plans but confirmed the company is increasing hiring in the region. Court Ruling is a “Huge Win” for Ripple Ripple secured a partial win against the SEC when Judge Analise Torres ruled Ripple’s XRP token is “not necessarily a security on its face.” Ripple has been engaged in a three-year battle with the SEC after the agency alleged the firm breached US securities laws. XRP is not a security.This victory for @Ripple is a win for the entire industry and a step toward regulatory clarity in the U.S.A huge thank you to @bgarlinghouse, @chrislarsensf, and @s_alderoty for their leadership and the #XRPCommunity for their continued support. — Ripple (@Ripple) July 13, 2023 Based on the SEC’s lawsuit, crypto exchanges such as Coinbase and Kraken were forced to delist XRP offerings but have since indicated they would relist the token. Young commented on Judge Torres’ decision and said it is a “huge win” and “positive for [the company’s] growth in the US.” She added the company’s position on the US as its global hub “has not changed” but noted since the lawsuit, the majority of Ripple’s expansion “has happened outside the US. I would only expect that the US will pick up and grow a lot more now. Having said that, we are global, we have over 15 offices around the world.” Ripple Secures an In-Principle MPI License in Singapore CNCB reported weeks before Judge Torres’ decision the firm received in-principle approval of a Major Payment Institution (MPI) License from the country’s central bank – the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS). In a press release announcing MAS approval, Ripple said: “Ripple, the leader in enterprise blockchain and crypto solutions, today announced that its Singapore subsidiary Ripple Markets APAC Pte Ltd, has obtained In-Principle Approval of the Major Payments Institution License application from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS). This license will allow Ripple to offer regulated digital payment token products and services in the city-state, and further scale its customers’ use of its crypto-enabledOn-Demand Liquidity(ODL) service.” Ripple has long held a strong presence in Singapore since opening its Asia Pacific headquarters in 2017. Brad Garlinghouse, Ripple’s Chief Executive Officer, said in a statement released soon after announcing the company’s MPI approval: “Singapore is a leading global financial center, and a prominent gateway to business in Asia Pacific. We’re incredibly proud to receive an in-principle license from the MAS, reaffirming our commitment to the region and ongoing proactive engagement with regulators globally.” Stu Alderoty, Ripple’s Chief Legal Officer, also commented: “As more countries develop regulatory frameworks for crypto, many are looking to Singapore’s early leadership in developing a clear taxonomy and licensing framework. This in-principle regulatory approval from the MAS will enable us to better support our forward-looking customers looking to hone in on blockchain and crypto technologies to build a more inclusive and borderless financial system.” Ripple reportedly doubled its headcount in Singapore over the past year and continues to seize every advantage the city holds for it.
