What’s new? On July 10, the rate of the native token of the Ripple (XRP) payment protocol on the Poloniex exchange collapsed to zero. This was due to scheduled maintenance on the platform, which began at 07:00 UTC and lasted about two hours. During the maintenance, the exchange’s site worked offline, and trading was suspended. In this regard, a similar drop was observed in other coins. As of 14:30 UTC, XRP on Poloniex is trading at $0,4724, having added 0,79% in 24 hours.
🚧 Planned Maintenance 🚧We began planned maintenance at 07:00 UTC. We expect the maintenance to take around 2 hours. During this time, the site will be offline and trading will be suspended.— Poloniex Customer Support (@PoloSupport) July 10, 2023
What happened before? On April 26, the XRP rate also fell to $0 on the Bitrue exchange as a result of a technical glitch. This led to massive liquidations on futures positions with the asset paired with the USDT stablecoin.
On March 24, the crypto exchange Binance stopped trading activity for 2,5 hours. The reason was an error in the stop order detected by the matching mechanism.
