The exchange has not clarified on whether the suspension is caused by the legal battle between Ripple and the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). However, Voyager is not the only one who decided to temporarily suspend activity related to XRP.
As iHodl recently reported, Grayscale Investments removed all XRP positions in the Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund. The firm used cash proceeds to purchase bitcoin (EXANTE: Bitcoin), ether (ETH), litecoin (LTC), and bitcoin cash (BCH).
In the meantime, Uphold announced it will continue support for XRP unless XRP is judged to be a security. The company said in an announcement that the watchdog's complaint is currently just "an allegation."
