I heard that news. I wonder what will happen to XRP later because I think some exchanges stop the trade for XRP. But maybe it is just temporary until the problem can be solved so that XRP can be traded as usual. If it's not, it will be hard for XRP to rise and make another good time in the altcoin season. I think people are worried about waiting for the next update that will come.
Worst case scenario would be getting delisted from main exchanges. Ripple will possibly lost its value. Compared to the issues XRP have faced before, this one is getting serious. People are now forced to decide wether to exit or continue their investment in Ripple, but more people are lossing the trust to ripple, as evident its been multiple of days of dropping in price.
If that happens, I am afraid that XRP will not sustain for the delisted on the main exchanges. People still hold their XRP, maybe they still waiting for the next update from the dev which I am sure that they will not stay to see XRP delisted. Well, we should wait for the next news from them, and hopefully, XRP will not delist.
They can only strict from US investors for buying XRP same thing with bitstamp do to XRP. but major exchange will not totally delist it because they don't have any reason to do so ,unless they are from United States which need to also follow their countries regulations.
I don't know where they will make official announcement about the result of it ,. But hopefully they do it faster because as of today XRP is too much affected with that news.
