With little change in price, $0.3222 versus last week’s $0.3257, and not much XRP news breaking headlines since my last update, the Ripple report will be short and sweet this week.
Coinchek Launches OTC
The Japanese cryptocurrency exchange Coinchek announced April 15th that it has launched its Over-the-counter (OTC) trading desk and debuted with XRP and ETH as their first altcoin listings. Many of you may remember Coinchek from last year when they were hit with a hacking incident that cost them half a billion dollars. After the acquisition of the online broker Monex Group in April of last year, the exchange was able to regain trust and appear to be making a strong comeback.
