Brian Armstrong, the CEO of the largest US-based crypto exchange, Coinbase, has recently showcased support for Ripple, the San Francisco-based cross-border payment firm, and its digital token XRP, amidst the legal tussle with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
In a tweet on 26th October, Armstrong stated that the case between Ripple and SEC seems to be going better than expected, stressing that the regulator is starting to realize that any rule against crypto is an indirect attack on consumers.

In September, a rumor started making rounds on social media that Coinbase has made XRP available for trading once again. However, the exchange officially tweeted to debunk the rumor.
