The Ripple-affiliated XRP token has won another re-listing victory in Japan, where the coin will be made available for trading again on the TaoTao crypto exchange later this month.
Per an official announcement, TaoTao stated that the coin would be listed on September 22 following a period of maintenance. The firm added that in addition to spot trading, the coin would also “be available” for margin and leveraged trading.
Like many other international exchanges, a large number of Japanese trading platforms delisted or “temporarily suspended” XRP trading after the American Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) brought charges against Ripple executives, alleging that they had “knowingly” sold XRP as an “unregistered security.”
