So much so that a total of 20 million XRP was transferred from Ripple's wallet RL18-VN to the Philippines-based Coins.ph cryptocurrency exchange. Prior to this transfer, Ripple sent these funds to the aforementioned wallet, which is often used to send crypto beyond the company, to ODL platforms, exchanges or financial institutions.

This Exchange Delisted XRP
As the legal battle launched against Ripple Labs by the US Securities and Exchange regulator continues, Canadian crypto trading hub Bitbuy has announced that it plans to remove XRP/CAD and XRP/BTC pairs from its trading asset list.
The exchange received regulatory clearance to operate as a fully-registered seller earlier this month, and its representatives stated that they must comply with international regulatory rules regarding which crypto assets can be classified as securities.
However, according to a Bitbuy representative, if the regulatory environment changes later, XRP may be relisted on the cryptocurrency exchange.
