Though less popular Hong Kong-based exchange OSL was the first to delist the controversial cryptocurrency after the announcement of the lawsuit, another less popular exchange, “CrossTower” was proactive enough to delist XRP even before the official confirmation.
“Given the uncertainty regarding XRP’s status, CrossTower has decided to delist XRP,” CrossTower President, Kristin Boggiano, said in a statement.
OSL and Beaxy both tweeted about their suspension of XRP trading, and the decision will be effective “until further notice.”
Please note: In light of US Securities & Exchange Commission’s enforcement action against Ripple Labs & 2 of its executives, we have suspended all #XRP payment in and trading services on the OSL platform, effective immediately and until further notice.https://t.co/EXJJEHMawn
