Delaware authorities refer fake BlackRock XRP trust filing to state’s Justice Department

A fake filing published to the State of Delawareโ€™s Division of Corporations on Nov. 13 will be referred to the Delaware Department of Justice.

In a Nov. 14 statement, a spokesperson for the Delaware Department of State told Cointelegraph that the false filing claiming that asset manager BlackRock registered an โ€œiShares XRP Trustโ€ would be referred to state authorities. The registration, which appeared as a listing on the stateโ€™s Division of Corporations on Nov. 13, momentarily caused the price of XRP to surge roughly 12% before losing its gains when the falsehood was revealed.

This is a developing story, and further information will be added as it becomes available.
