Notably, Ripple’s Singapore arm took legal action last July, accusing GCC Exchange of neglecting financial obligations for over 40,000 XRP transfers. Per the filing statement, this deal amounted to €13.8 million or approximately $15 million.
These XRP transfers were conducted within the framework of a supply agreement established by the two parties in 2022. The complaint alleged that GCC Exchange breached the agreement terms by failing to settle outstanding invoices for withdrawn XRP units.
In addition to seeking payment for outstanding invoices, Ripple Singapore pursued additional compensation for the accumulation of late fees. The resolution now marks the end of legal tensions between Ripple and GCC Exchange, with both parties opting for a confidential settlement term.
Notably, GCC Exchange is a prominent provider of foreign exchange and money transfer services. It specializes in cross-border remittance solutions spanning over 100 countries, including the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
