XRP Scam Alert: Community Warned About Fake Investment Promises
The XRP community has been warned about a new scam targeting unsuspecting users. The scam involves fake promises of unusually high returns on investments in XRP. In reality, the scammers are trying to steal user funds.
A report from Ripple News highlighted the growing assets under management by US spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that hold XRP. These ETFs have nearly doubled their holdings in 2026 and now approach $200 million in assets.
Meanwhile, the XRP Ledger has seen a substantial increase in payment volume, driven by larger transfers rather than broad user growth. This increase is despite declining market liquidity.
