Voyager, a New York-based crypto-asset broker, has announced that it will start paying passive interest on the digital token XRP and four other cryptocurrencies, to holders in May 2020.
The Voyager made this known via its official Twitter handle some hours ago. In the report, the crypto brokerage indirectly mentioned the Ripple’s digital token XRP as one of its next inclusion.
Voyager shared this, “In May, we’re adding five new assets to the Voyager Interest Program! We’ll give you a hint, one starts with an “X” & the community is often referred to as an army. Which assets do you think will make the list? Comment below.”

Wietse Wind Challenges Bitstamp for Rejecting Withdrawals to Unactivated Accounts
Wietse Wind, a top developer at XRP Ledger, has recently taken to Twitter to challenge the notion of Bitstamp exchange, for its continued rejection of XRP withdrawals to unactivated accounts.
In the tweet, Wind reported that Bitstamp continued to reject withdrawals, despite the fact that the holders possess withdrawal threshold of 20 XRP.
He said a few numbers of XUMM users had laid complaints regarding their inability to activate their new on ledger accounts.
Wietse Wind shared this, “Hey Bitstamp – is there a reason you are rejecting XRP withdrawals to unactivated accounts, even if the deposit >= the wallet activation threshold of 20 XRP? I’ve had a few XUMM users report being unable to activate their new on ledger accounts with an “Invalid wallet” msg.”
