Fake XRP news.
Shortly after a now-deleted X post by BitPay, in which the cryptocurrency payments platform said that Roblox (NYSE: RBLX) would introduce support for crypto payments – specifically XRP – the gaming platform quickly refuted these claims, impacting the price of the token in question.
“Xsolla now accepts XRP with BitPay as a payment method for their games such as Smite and Roblox. (…) You can use your favorite cryptocurrency to buy, play, and enjoy gaming like never before.”
However, Roblox soon denied any claims that it plans to integrate XRP payments with Xsolla, a global video game commerce company, first in a response to the original X post by BitPay and later for crypto media, stating that the information was “inaccurate.”
