Ripple Issues Major Warning After “Historic Victory”

As a seasoned crypto investor with battle-hardened instincts, I’ve seen my fair share of market fluctuations and scams over the years. The recent XRP rally, following the court ruling between Ripple and the SEC, has been an exhilarating ride. However, it’s also brought forth a new wave of XRP-related scams that are as predictable as the tides in San Francisco Bay.


A company based in San Francisco, named Ripple, has alerted people about an increase in fraudulent activities involving XRP after a recent legal decision.

According to U.Today’s report, Judge Analisa Torres of New York has made a definitive decision in the highly anticipated SEC vs. Ripple case. The judge ruled that the defendant must pay a $125 million penalty for breaking securities laws through its institutional sales.

Ripple characterized the recent court ruling, which has generated significant discussion, as a “significant triumph,” given that the amount in question falls far short of what the agency initially demanded.

Following the anticipated conclusion of the case, XRP saw an impressive surge in its value, skyrocketing over 20% and making it one of the busiest cryptocurrencies on the market.

This renewed interest has also caused an uptick in XRP-related scams, according to Ripple. 

As a crypto investor, I’ve been alerted by Ripple about the presence of false social media accounts pretending to be the company or its executives. These deceptive accounts usually push phony giveaways and airdrops to lure unwary users into surrendering their funds. It’s crucial to remember that Ripple, along with its executive team, will NEVER solicit funds from you in any way. Stay vigilant!

As an analyst, I often find myself warning about the prevalence of impersonations targeting Ripple and its CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, on social media platforms. In fact, the company took legal action against YouTube in 2020 due to their inadequate response to cryptocurrency scams. However, the lawsuit was eventually settled in the following year.

Lately, some individuals have been attempting to exploit Ripple’s entry into the stablecoin market by fabricating false tokens and deceiving people into believing they are genuine Ripple products.
