The results showcased that onXRP is the leading broker it has a sales count of 21,461 and a sales volume of 7.3 million. Xrp.cafe is the 2nd (sales count of 2451 and sales volume of 434,731), followed by xMart at 3rd position with 57,003 sales volume and 211 sales count.

These numbers were made possible by an exclusive acquisition offered onXRP. Xpunks was influenced by the now-famous CryptoPunks NFT collection and had historical ties to the individuals who founded onXRP. 

Per reports, item number 8811 from the collection had been sold for 108,900 XRP or about $40,000.

Furthermore, with just 958 sales, Xpunks’ prevailing sales volume is 2.42 million XRP. With 1.5 million XRP sales, Bored Apes XRP Club, also mentioned on the onXRP marketplace, comes in second place in the metrics.

Ripple dedicated its time to its users by generating NFTs, which were highly anticipated. Each holder will acquire 150% annual APR via staking and receives dividends. Once purchased, the NFTs appear on the user’s ledger, NFT XRP site, or exchange.

According to Kaj Leroy’s linked profile, he partnered with Ripple to bring the NFT technology to the XRPL during the SXSW event in Austin. He added that onXRP and XPUNKs would bring attention to vast Web3 and NFT capabilities showcased on the entire crypto ecosystem.

Ripple’s struggles with the SEC

On Dec.20, a number that surpassed 1 billion XRP tokens were reportedly moved from exchanges. Data showed that 325,800,000 XRP, approximately $112 million, were transferred to an unknown wallet. Nonetheless, XRP made a step further in the SEC in the case.

Following a public memo, US District Judge Annalisa Torres granted Ripples’ motions while rejecting some security and Exchange Commission requests. The SEC requested that the names of the character witnesses and their contact and financial information be redacted.

As the cases roll on, Attorney John Deaton, founder of CryptoLaw, discussed why suing the SEC would be almost impossible, and a waste of time.
