Pepe

Another week ends within the global crypto realm, with Ripple, Binance, and Pepe coin igniting a flurry of speculations among crypto market participants. The ongoing Ripple vs the U.S. SEC lawsuit took exciting turns this week, whereas Binance further streamlined its crypto offerings. Pepe coin emerged as the talk of the town of the meme coin sector, painting an optimistic portrait of its future.
Here’s a closer look into this week’s top headlines, which garnered significant attention in the global crypto space.
<h2 id="ripple-vs-u-s-sec-here-s-all-that-happened">Ripple vs U.S. SEC: Here’s All That Happened</h2>
Speculations that the lawsuit between Ripple and the U.S. SEC is about to end rose phenomenally this week, as Ashley Prosper, an expert on the <a href="https://coingape.com/ripple-vs-sec-news-settlement-appeal-judge-torres-final-ruling-timeline/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">XRP lawsuit</a>, claimed that the SEC’s conclusive response during the remedies phase held significant importance&nbsp;for&nbsp;the case.
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) submitted its final reply in the remedies phase on May 6. Notably, <a href="https://coingape.com/ripple-xrp-news-judge-torres-to-deny-sec-motion-in-remedies-phase/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">pro-XRP lawyer</a> James Murphy criticized the reply, deeming it pointless and lacking substantial arguments about institutional investors’ financial harm.
Meanwhile, the broader industry sentiments also hinted that the SEC’s arguments in reply briefs for remedies and final judgment were weak, as <a href="https://coingape.com/xrp-news-today-ripple-can-counter-sec-attacks-stablecoin-binance-ruling/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ripple CLO Stuart Alderoty</a> reiterated. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, on the other hand, shared vital insights on hot trends surrounding <a href="https://coingape.com/breaking-ripple-ceo-brad-garlinghouse-on-sec-lawsuit-crypto-predictions-xrp-victory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ripple</a>, such as the firm’s operational endeavors, recent developments within the <a href="https://coingape.com/xrp-news-sbi-holdings-launches-validator-xrp-ledger-what-next/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">XRPL</a>, strategies for the long-running lawsuit against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, etc.
The American blockchain payments company also appears to be considering launching a <a href="https://coingape.com/ripple-stablecoin-launch-june-hints-cto-david-schwartz/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">stablecoin</a> in June, as hinted by CTO David Schwartz. In the interim, XRP, the cryptocurrency backed by Ripple Labs, continued to trade sluggishly this week.
<h2 id="binance-s-crypto-offerings">Binance’s Crypto Offerings</h2>
Whereas, Binance, one of the world’s most renowned crypto exchanges, embarked on a plethora of crypto-related developments this week. Reportedly, the U.S. DoJ (Department of Justice) called out the <a href="https://coingape.com/binance-under-surveillance-of-us-justice-dept-monitor-forensic-risk-alliance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">FRA (Forensic Risk Alliance)</a> to monitor Binance Holdings’ activities following its money-laundering saga.
Meanwhile, Binance-related wallets were noted to have burnt 222 million <a href="https://coingape.com/binance-related-wallets-burn-222-million-terra-luna-classic-lunc/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Terra Luna Classic tokens (LUNC)</a> this week. In other news surrounding the pioneering CEX, Binance CEO Richard Teng issued a plea for the release of unjustly detained <a href="https://coingape.com/binance-ceo-urges-tigran-gambaryan-release-nigeria-crisis/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Binance executive Tigran Gambaryan</a>.
Further, <a href="https://coingape.com/binance-futures-set-to-delist-these-cryptos-what-next/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Binance Futures</a>, Binance’s crypto derivatives arm, announced that it is delisting the USDⓈ-M perpetual contracts for STPTUSDT, SNTUSDT, MBLUSDT, RADUSDT, and CVXUSDT. The firm also announced the removal of all <a href="https://coingape.com/binance-remove-btc-eth-usdt-pair-here-all/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BIDR (Indonesian Rupiah-backed stablecoin)</a> products and services from its platform.
Amid these delisting chronicles, <a href="https://coingape.com/binance-to-cease-support-for-these-pairs-prices-to-retreat/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Binance</a>&nbsp;revealed that it would cease support for the USDⓈ-M IDEXUSDT, SLPUSDT, and GLMRUSDT USDⓈ-M perpetual contracts, followed by other pairs. Simultaneously, the exchange announced the launch of Notcoin (NOT) as its 54th project on <a href="https://coingape.com/binance-announce-54th-launchpool-project-notcoin-not/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Binance Launchpool</a>.
Intriguingly, Binance also became a FIU (Financial Intelligence Unit) registered crypto exchange in <a href="https://coingape.com/binance-kucoin-becomes-india-fiu-registered-crypto-exchanges/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">India</a> this week, further cementing its foothold within the industry.

In the midst of the abovementioned chronicles, Pepe coin emerged as the hot topic of the meme coin sector. A smart money address was noted to have been accumulating 143 billion <a href="https://coingape.com/pepe-coin-smart-money-buys-143-bln-pepe-0-00001-on-the-horizon/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">PEPE</a> this week, driving immense investor optimism on the meme coin.
Despite the token already being on a bull run, accumulations surrounding the <a href="https://coingape.com/pepe-price-whale-bags-357b-pepe-signaling-further-gains-ahead/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">frog-themed meme token</a> rose in the past seven days. A fresh whale was noted to have bagged 357 billion PEPE from Binance, followed by numerous crypto market investors accumulating 650 billion <a href="https://coingape.com/pepe-price-investors-accumulate-650-bln-pepe-coin-more-steam-left/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Pepe coin</a>, collectively.
The phenomenon has aided the token in gaining significant traction despite the broader market’s turbulency and market sentiments of Pepe coin have being topped. Also, a post BTC halving price rally is yet to come.
