Bittrex, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world and a major player in the world of digital currency trading, has begun to follow Binance's lead by removing XRP as the base currency. The decision to remove XRP was made after much debate among users about whether to remove it from their platforms.
Over the past few weeks, many exchanges like Binance and HitBTC have announced that they are no longer allowing the trading of XRP as one of the base currencies for new users. The move was made due to concerns that XRP is backed by real assets and could potentially cause problems for investors if used as the base currency for trading purposes.
Bittrex is one of several major exchanges that have decided to follow suit by removing XRP from their platforms.
