U.S. exchange Coinbase to suspend XRP trading on January 19
It was only a matter of time before it happened. Coinbase, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the U.S., announced its plans to suspend XRP trading on Jan. 19 in light of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC’s) enforcement action against Ripple.
In a blog post written by Paul Grewal, Coinbase’s Chief Legal Officer, the exchange said XRP trading will start moving into only starting Dec. 28 until the full suspension takes place on Jan. 19 at 10 AM Pacific Standard Time.
“In light of the SEC’s lawsuit against Ripple Labs, Inc., we have made the decision to suspend XRP trading pairs on our platform,” wrote Grewal.
The exchange added that the suspension will not affect users’ access to XRP wallets as they can still deposit and withdraw their tokens even after the trading suspension.
“Further, customers will remain eligible for the previously announced spark airdrop (subject to approval in certain jurisdictions), and we will continue to support XRP on Coinbase Custody and Coinbase Wallet,” the post continued.
The exchange pledged to continue monitoring the legal developments related to the lawsuit and update its customers as more and new information comes through.
A few days after the SEC announced its lawsuit against the company, it was reported that Coinbase was considering its options on the matter.
Coinbase suspension a major blow to XRP
Coinbase’s suspension of XRP trading pairs was a matter of “when” and not “if.” At this stage, the question that remains is who is next.OKCoin recently announced that it will suspend XRP trading for the same reasons on Jan. 4. XRP took a nosedive after the announcement.
XRP was the third-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization but dropped into the fourth position as a result of the lawsuit.
The digital asset is trading at $0.245, down nearly 15% in the last 24 hours, CoinMarketCap data shows.
As exchanges and partners distance themselves from the San-Franciso-based blockchain firm, the company is happy to know that they still enjoy the support of SBI Holdings, one of their most loyal partners based in Japan.
SBI pledged to continue supporting Ripple irrespective of the price of the XRP token. The financial company said it has invested in Ripple and not directly in XRP.
Before the lawsuit was filed, Ripple CEO previously said that the company was considering relocating to a more crypto-friendly territory such as the U.K.

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 success guarantee work?
If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
