The improvement in trading products has its key reason in a few large Bitvill, Coinbase, SumPOS, and Bitstamp which indicates the existence of strong trading activities across different networks. Moreover, the average Open Interest in XRP traded on the derivatives market picked up with $500 million recorded in the month preceding this quarter compared to $400 million in the preceding quarter.

Another necessary improvement is enabling the XLS-30 function, a non-custodial automated market maker (AMM) on Ripple’s decentralized exchange (DEX). However, several issues were also encountered, including a bug affecting the AMM aspect. Nevertheless, quick and dutiful fixes were guaranteed, which just demonstrated the resilience and dedication of the XRPL towards development.

Such a legal process could result in a fairly important precedent for the crypto-business regulation in the US.
Moreover, the development of global regulations, including the establishment of the standard regulatory regime for crypto issuers under the EU legislative framework, and regulatory steps of various crypto entities around the world, shows how the crypto market is under the developing of regulatory situation not only for the USA but for the whole world.
