Michael said that Bakkt is planning to roll out support for a number of altcoins on its platform in the future, but XRP is not one of them.<\/p>\n<p>Michael declined to comment on whether the company decided to stay away from XRP due to Ripple\u2019s legal issues sparked by a lawsuit from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. \u201cJust not on our platform,\u201d Michael stated, adding:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe entered the crypto space through Bitcoin, and that was our first currency we\u2019ve made available. We have others that are scheduled to come on board as part of the product development. But XRP is not available.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Michael\u2019s remarks on XRP follow the official announcement of Bakkt&#8217;s\u00a0plans to go public. On Jan. 11, the Intercontinental Exchange, the operator of the New York Stock Exchange and the owner of Bakkt, announced a merger deal with VPC Impact Acquisition Holdings to allow Bakkt to launch on stock markets.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Ripple is fighting the SEC\u2019s $1.3 billion lawsuit brought against the firm in late December. On Jan. 8, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse strongly denied the \u201cSEC\u2019s unproven allegations\u201d and claimed his firm is \u201con the right side of the facts and of history.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the midst of Ripple\u2019s legal problems, many crypto companies have decided to delist XRP. On Jan. 6, crypto wallet provider and trading platform Blockchain.com announced it was removing XRP, following in the steps of Coinbase, Binance.US, OKCoin and others. However, some companies like Uphold preferred to keep XRP on their platforms until the SEC lawsuit is resolved.<\/p>\n<p><template data-name=\"subscription_form\" data-type=\"markets_outlook\"><\/template><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
