Ripple (XRP) & Litecoin (LTC) – There is not much going on in the cryptocurrency world this morning in regards to big news or new regulations implemented. Currently, the entire market is sitting just over $430 billion with $22 billion in trading volume within the last 24 hours.
The only news currently circulating that remains unsurprising to most is that Bill Gates and Warren Buffett are still slamming cryptocurrency[1]. Let’s be real here, their wealth can’t be denied, but the two are clearly stuck in their traditional ways. Mr. Buffett was CLEARLY wrong about his initial assumptions of Amazon and Google and has even said so himself[2]. The “FUD” has simmered off after the twentieth comment the pair has made and it seems their opinions have now zero effect on investor confidence.
Let’s take a closer look at a pair of coins just under the green this morning and their latest updates.

There are no new developments regarding the class-action lawsuit filed against Ripple Labs. Since these things take a considerable amount of time, I don’t expect to hear much anytime soon; especially since the SEC ultimately decides the lawsuit’s outcome.
The team behind Ripple seem unphased by the lawsuit as this week they are holding YPO Innovation Week at their headquarters.
Ripple’s CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, spoke at the event and said[3]:
“At its core Ripple is a technology company leveraging digital assets to solve a global payments problem. We believe payments are foundational to any use case so we’re starting there.”
In addition to the innovation week, Korea’s Coinone has joined the Ripple network.
