MoneyGram took a step back from the partnership last month citing the regulatory uncertainty around Ripple and its associated token XRP.
Winding down the partnership
In an announcement, the blockchain firm said that it is proud of the work the two accomplished together in a short amount of time, “as well as the impact we were able to achieve in bringing the first-of-its-kind product to market.”Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse confirmed that the two parted ways.
Ripple and MoneyGram engaged in a pilot program in 2018. Since 2019, Ripple has been paying MoneyGram to use its affiliated token XRP in international settlement.
To date, MoneyGram received $61.5 million in market development fees from Ripple.
However, the money transfer company said in February that it was not looking forward to benefiting from Ripple market development fees in Q1 this year. In the same quarter last year, MoneyGram netted $12.1 million in fees.
Despite the end of the partnership, there is a possibility of revisiting it in the future, at least from Ripple’s point of view.
“We are both committed to revisiting our relationship in the future. We still believe in the promise of digital assets and blockchain technology to change the status quo in global payments for the benefit of billions of consumers around the world.”
Ripple court case
Ripple is currently involved in a court case with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) after the agency charged Ripple and its two executives with selling unregistered securities.Ripple is fighting these charges, arguing that XRP tokens are not securities. Garlinghouse has not held back on his thoughts on the matter and in a recent letter to the courts, he said “this case represents regulatory overreach, plain and simple.”
The court case has had a negative impact on XRP.
Effects of the court case
The legal battle has come at a cost to both Ripple and XRP. The firm has lost a partnership while the XRP token has been delisted on several trading platforms.On the other hand, some of Ripple’s partners such as Japanese financial giant SBI Holdings have pledged to continue supporting the company.

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.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
