A recent Messari report reveals Ripple’s XRP surged by over 55% in Q1 2023, outperforming the overall cryptocurrency market. According to a report by Messari, Ripple’s XRP outpaced the overall crypto market in Q1 2023, having grown by over 55% quarter-on-quarter (QoQ). Messari revealed XRP’s market capitalization increased from $17.4 billion on January 1 to an impressive $27.4 billion on March 31, representing a Q1 surge of 59.9%. While XRP’s market cap grew by 59.9%, its price surged by 55% during the first quarter. The overall cryptocurrency market only observed an increase of 46% during the same period. XRP started the year at $0.35 but gained immensely during a market-wide rally to reach a high of $0.43 on January 23. The asset’s price, however, faced resistance at this price and ended January with an increase of 19.71%. Ripple’s native token, however, declined in February to a price of $0.36 but closed the month off at $0.37. XRP witnessed a decline of 7.27% during February. XRP Moved in March XRP moved with strong bullish momentum during March, registering an overnight growth of 20% on March 22. Ripple’s XRP was on its way to hitting its very bullish target of $0.50 but ultimately fell short, reaching a high of $0.49. The asset gained on the back of the US banking crisis and anticipation of an interest rate hike by the US Federal Reserve. The price further grew as speculation circulated that Ripple’s case with the SEC would soon come to an end. XRP was on track to end March with a bang when it soared to a 10-month high of $0.58 on March 29, having witnessed a solo run of 56% in just two weeks. The asset fought off a few bearish attacks to close March at $0.54. March’s rally saw XRP gain 43%, ending the first quarter with a price increase of 55%. Against the backdrop of its stunning Q1 growth, Ripple reported that it sold over $361 million worth of XRP tokens during the first three months of 2023. Q2 has not proved too profitable for XRP yet, which, at the time of writing, exchanged hands at $0.46. Things Are Looking Up for Ripple Ripple had a victory this week in its ongoing legal battle against the SEC. A court denied the SEC’s request to seal documents related to former SEC official William Hinman’s statements about Ether. Hinman, the former director of the SEC’s Division of Corporate Finance, delivered a prudent speech in 2018, suggesting that Ether was not a security. Hinman’s statements are significant to the case as they provide a precedent for a digital asset like XRP. Ripple further announced it made a $250 million acquisition of Metaco – a well-known crypto custodian. Seen as a positive sign for the future of both Ripple and Metaco, the move sees Ripple take on sole responsibility at Metaco while still allowing current CEO Adrien Traccani to manage operations independently. Traccani has been instrumental in getting Metaco where it is now. Customers would benefit significantly from this deal, says Monica Long, the President of Ripple: Adding these capabilities to Ripple’s already growing product solutions means we can continue to support customers as they look to embrace the true potential of crypto and blockchain in real-world applications.

The lack of clear crypto regulation risks sending companies overseas. Congress must bring regulatory clarity to crypto market structure, defining the bounds and appropriate legal treatment of crypto securities, commodities, and exchanges, say Jack Solowey and Jennifer J. Schulp.

A former Coinbase employee has been sentenced to two years in prison after pleading guilty to charges of insider trading. The sentencing was carried out by US District Judge Loretta Preska, who sentenced Wahi in the Manhattan Federal Court. The Insider Trading Case Ishan Wahi was arrested in 2022 and charged with insider trading after it was discovered that he was providing his brother and another individual, Sameer Rahmani, with insider information about upcoming listings on Coinbase. According to authorities probing the case, Wahi’s brother and the unnamed individual made over $1 million between June 2021 and April 2022, thanks to information given by Wahi. During the hearing, Judge Preska stated that Wahi’s scheme involved “massive abuse of Coinbase’s trust.” The judge added that Wahi and the co-defendant’s attempts to cover up their actions showed they knew they were wrong in carrying on with the scheme. The brother, Nikhil Wahi, earlier pleaded guilty to a charge of wire fraud conspiracy and was sentenced to 10 months in prison. Meanwhile, Ramani has evaded the authorities thus far. Wahi Expresses Remorse At the hearing, Ishan Wahi expressed regret and remorse over his actions and their impact on friends and family, several of whom were in attendance in court. Wahi stated during the hearing that he had made a huge mistake, one that would follow him for the rest of his life. Noah Solowiejczyk, the assistant US Attorney, contended that Wahi’s actions were not a one-off mistake and instead were a stream of tips to his brother spanning over ten months. Wahi also asked the court to give him a sentence no longer than his brothers and cited examples of other insider trading cases that resulted in little or no prison time for the people involved. However, prosecutors called for Wahi to be jailed for over three years to deter other individuals from misusing corporate information. Currently, prosecutors are able to charge fraud in cases where deception was utilized to seek financial gain, regardless of the type of asset involved. This allows the United States Justice Department more leeway to go after any crypto-related fraud than its civil counterpart, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The SEC is limited to monitoring the securities markets. In several of its lawsuits, the Securities and Exchange Commission, including one filed against the Wahi brothers, stated that most digital assets are securities. Court papers have shown that the SEC and Ishan Wahi had reached a settlement, while Nikhil Wahi is in talks to reach a settlement. Second Crypto-Related Insider Trading Case This is the second case related to cryptocurrency insider trading brought by the United States Department of Justice (DOJ). The first case resulted in a guilty verdict and involved the former head of product at OpenSea, one of the most prominent non-fungible token (NFT) platforms. The guilty verdict was reached on the 3rd of May when Nate Chastain was convicted of wire fraud and money laundering. Chastain used insider knowledge to determine which NFTs were about to be listed on the OpenSea platform, making significant profits in the process. While Chastain has not been sentenced as yet, he faces a maximum prison sentence of 40 years. Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.
