Newton Crypto, Canada’s most prominent trading platform is among the first exchanges to re-list XRP. The platform de-listed the token in early 2021 due to the Ripple Vs SEC lawsuit. The Newton exchange boasts more than 100,000 daily active user bases, now allowing investors to purchase XRP. The legal tussle between Ripple and XRP also caused leading crypto exchange Coinbase to delist the token.
The co-founder and CEO of Netwon Crypto, Dustin Walper announced that XRP will be re-listed on the trading platform. “Surprise! We relisted $XRP on @newton_crypto”. However, the CEO did not specify the reason to re-list the crypto.

Will Coinbase Re-list XRP?
Dustin Walper’s tweet snowballed into the Ripple community heralding the re-listing of the token by Newton exchange. A barrage of users tagged Coinbase to follow suit and re-list the token for investors to get hold of the token.
However, Coinbase has not re-listed the crypto despite multiple social media campaigns urging the exchange to list the crypto again. It is implausible that Coinbase will re-list XRP amid the ongoing Ripple Vs SEC lawsuit.
Newton is a Canadian business and the SEC has no power over its jurisdiction. The SEC can go after Coinbase if they get XRP on board amid the legal tussle. Therefore, Coinbase onboarding XRP again remains to be unlikely at this moment. When the lawsuit is settled, only then could Coinbase consider getting the token onboard.
Also, Coinbase had recently requested to file an amicus brief in support of Ripple in the ongoing lawsuit. The exchange highlighted that it was forced to de-list the token due to the ongoing legal battle between Ripple and SEC.
