Delaware authorities refer fake BlackRock XRP ( $1.14 ) trust filing to state’s Justice Department

A fake filing published to the State of Delaware’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 “iShares XRP ( $1.14 ) Trust” would be referred to state authorities. The registration, which appeared as a listing on the state’s Division of Corporations on Nov. 13, momentarily caused the price of XRP ( $1.14 ) 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.
