Staking is a popular service on the crypto market, which emerged thanks to the launch of decentralized finance (DeFi) apps — first on Ethereum and then on other blockchain platforms as well. This is an additional way for the community to make an income without selling their crypto holdings.
$XRP “millionaire wallet” number spikes
According to a recent post by on-chain data aggregator Santiment, despite the fact that the $XRP price has dropped by roughly 4% since the start of the year, large investors continue to accumulate this Ripple-affiliated cryptocurrency.
The tweet says that since September, the number of $XRP “millionaire wallets” has registered an increase for the first time. Forty-two new wallets have emerged, and each of them holds at least 1,000,000 $XRP coins, which have returned to the $XRP Ledger. Santiment has called this “an encouraging sign for the long-term.”

As reported by U.Today, Ripple has finally scored a massive victory — the lawsuit that was initiated against it in 2018 by Bradley Sostack has been finally and completely dismissed by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. The reason for the lawsuit was the same as for the one imposed on Ripple in 2020 by the SEC, claiming that $XRP was not a cryptocurrency but an unregistered security. This was Ripple’s second consecutive victory in court after winning the SEC lawsuit last year.
