The fraudulent scheme was relatively simple, involving just a few documents and a modest fee of $500. However, it was able to inflate the price of XRP to $0.75. The revelation that the BlackRock XRP ETF news was a hoax, as expected, caused XRP to erase all its gains. The price of XRP dropped to $0.61, a significant 12% decrease.
BlackRock has since clarified that it did not file for the iShares XRP Trust, as previously rumored.
“Borderline Cult Mentality”
Sharp criticism from financial industry experts towards the XRP community for their steadfast belief in the false news has raised concerns. The recent BlackRock deposit hoax emphasized by James Siefert, a prominent analyst at the European Training Institute, highlights that some XRP followers still believe in the validity of the BlackRock file despite clear evidence debunking it.
Siefert described this stance as a “borderline cult mentality” within this segment of the cryptocurrency community. However, some community members pointed out that this was just the behavior of a few vocal XRP extremists.
