On December 12, the Spark airdrop will be held for those who hold the ripple coin. These tokens will be distributed in the ratio 1 XRP = 1 Spark. Some exchanges have confirmed their support for this airdrop, for the rest, I recommend reading in the blog how you can get Spark tokens: https://flare.ghost.io/claiming-spark-faq/
Awesome! I guess it's best to accumulate as much XRP as you can in order to get free Spark in return. It's basically "free money" for doing nothing other than holding XRP on your wallet. I believe this could cause a slight surge in XRP's price in the next few days before December 12. It may be a good time to buy XRP while it's still cheap on the market. After all, the network underpinning the "Spark" token will bring smart contract functionality to the XRP ledger. This could make XRP compete with ETH and other smart contract platforms available on the market today.Nonetheless, I've got nothing to lose since I already hold some XRP for quite some time. If Spark turns out to become a success, then I'll be able to cash it out for Fiat for another cryptocurrency easily. Otherwise, I could become a "bagholder" with worthless tokens that have no real use cases for the mainstream world. Just my thoughts
Good news was announced today by the Binance exchange for owners of the XRP coin: https://www.binance.com/en/support/announcement/78c11feba44d443998cf7a5329539e91 "Binance will support the Spark (SPARK) Airdrop Program for XRP (XRP) holders. The airdrop snapshot will take place at the first validated XRP ledger index number with a timestamp greater than or equal to 2020/12/12 00:00 AM (UTC)". Now you don't need to register your wallet to get a Spark coin, Binance will do all the work for us.
