Bittrex suspends XRP
Bittrex did not give an explicit reason for the removal of XRP trading pairs on its platform. However, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC’s) lawsuit against Ripple could be the main reason for the exchange’s decision.
Instead, the exchange pointed to its Market and Token Removal Policy which provides a list of factors that could lead to a cryptocurrency being delisted.
The policy lists “evolving regulatory standards and other compliance issues” as good grounds for delisting a project from its platform.
Ever since Ripple found itself in the crosshairs of the SEC, both minor and major exchanges have moved on to delist XRP.
A number of exchanges including Bitstamp, Coinbase, CrossTower, and OKCOIN have all delisted the digital asset from their platforms. All eyes are now on Binance.US and Kraken - the major exchanges in the U.S - as they are yet to take their positions on the matter.
Ripple, which has described the lawsuit as an attack on the crypto industry, is adamant that it is clear of any wrongdoing.
XRP takes a beating
XRP has taken a major hit since SEC filed the lawsuit. It had the third-largest market capitalization before it slipped into the fourth position due to a price slump.
XRP’s price tumbled from around $0.6 to its current price of $0.2167.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
