Moreover, it succeeded Japanese regulatory license for Coincheck in December 2018 which enabled exchange gain user’s trust.

To note, XRP, the third largest cryptocurrency is showing green momentum with 0.06 percent growth over the past 24 hours. Moreover, it is trading at the value $0.032 against the US dollar and the average trading volume counts at $13,629,105,776.

Nevertheless, Coincheck isn’t the first platform to choose XRP to its OTC trading desk, in early March 2019, Huobi exchange also listed XRP to its OTC platform.
