XRP Buyback: Ripple CTO Gives Take on Speculations

The XRP Buyback Concern

There has always been a full understanding on the role of Ripple with respect to the release of XRP coin from escrow to help in managing the supply of the cryptocurrency. While these buybacks are crucial to help manage liquidity, there is a hazy understanding on the role the firm plays as it relates to the buyback of the coin.

The buyback strategy is most specific to stocks in which the company deflates the supply of the asset by acquiring them from the open market to introduce the element of scarcity. There has never been an official comment regarding this and with the subject coming up again in the community, the company’s CTO, David Schwartz has waded into the conversation.

He noted that the company does make purchases of XRP but he is not sure if it fits into the same context as is being presented in the current conversation. He noted that with the broad speculations, there is no official source mentioned that anyone can hinge the claims of Buyback on.

Buying back XRP can solidify the SEC’s case of Ripple handling the digital currency as an investment contract. This is because Buyback is a strategic effort to increase the value of an asset, and with the lawsuit surpassing 2 years, this has never been a major cause for concern in the court.

Ripple Shunning XRP in Liquidity Hub

The lawsuit that is billed to define the fate of XRP in the US has largely forced Ripple Labs to abandon the cryptocurrency as an asset in its Liquidity Hub. 

XRP occupies a pivotal position in the blockchain company’s RippleNet and XRP Ledger protocol but its use is now limited until the lawsuit is over. With Ripple shunning the coin, a host of other partners are also shunning the digital currency, largely leaving its recent price upsurge in the hands of the market to decide.

Bitcoin 5-Week Bullish Streak Falters; Can CPI Data Perform Wonders?

Bitcoin saw a notable five-week surge, lifting its value by nearly 40%, only to face a bearish downturn and consolidate around $36k. The excitement surrounding a potential spot ETF diminishes as Bitcoin fails to surpass $37k. Investors now focus on the upcoming CPI data release as a crucial market influencer. Following a robust five-week ascent, propelling its value by nearly 40%, Bitcoin (BTC) has encountered a period of consolidation in the $37,000 range. The digital asset appears unable to sustain the bullish rally, with its price now around $36,000 after largely bearish trading in the past 24 hours. With the excitement surrounding the potential approval of a Bitcoin spot ETF dwindling, investors may shift their focus to Tuesday’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) as a potential catalyst for renewed bullish momentum. Specifically, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) is expected to release the CPI data today at 08:00 a.m. local time. Financial experts an
