Availability of Ripple (XRP) on iTrustCapital

Dear XRP Community, 

We have heard your calls to #RelistXRP and understand your frustration. Like many in the cryptocurrency industry, we are actively monitoring developments in the ongoing Security Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) lawsuit against Ripple Labs, Inc. (“Ripple”). Unfortunately, until there is regulatory clarity in the U.S. regarding the security status of the token, XRP, we do not anticipate supporting transactions of XRP on our platform. 

To best explain, iTrustCapital is not itself an exchange, but rather a self-directed IRA software-based platform. We partner with liquidity providers, which in turn, rely on cryptocurrency exchanges to provide liquidity for all digital assets on our platform.

Currently, the overwhelming majority of U.S. cryptocurrency exchanges have suspended trading of XRP. Therefore, we can’t provide any specific time frame, if any, regarding the support of XRP transactions on our platform.  As a company, our goal is to provide the best client experience while also ensuring compliance with all applicable IRS and SEC laws, rules, and regulations. 

At present, clients may continue to hold their existing XRP in our tax-sheltered IRA accounts. In addition, we also support client transfer deposits and withdrawals or in-kind distributions of their existing XRP holdings.  For additional information, you may also reference our previous company announcements. 

Sincerely, Leadership at iTrustCapital
