Crypto giant Ripple, which builds software that powers the market’s third most-capitalized cryptocurrencycryptocurrency XRP, today filed a lawsuit against video-streaming powerhouse YouTube.
Ripple Labs, along with its CEO Brad Garlinghouse, filed the lawsuit in a federal district court in Northern California.
The complaint alleges that a wide number of XRP giveaway scams have made their way onto YouTube’s website, and that YouTube has failed to take action against them despite Ripple’s demands. Further, Ripple alleges that YouTube has repeatedly verified accounts that execute scams and has granted “verification badges” to phony channels.
We see a need—now, more than ever—to protect our community from dangerous online giveaway #scams and #fake impersonations across @YouTube, @Facebook, @Twitter and more. https://t.co/MCLC2edOQA https://t.co/wycFuIhQXc

Ripple is now asking a federal court to force YouTube’s hand, and to prevent the video-streaming giant from further profiting from these scams through ad revenue generated from their views.
“We see a dire need—now, more than ever—to protect consumers around the world from dangerous online giveaway scams and false impersonations across YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and more,” the crypto firm said in a blog post.
Representatives for YouTube did not immediately respond to Decrypt’s request for comment.
Court documents allege that Garlinghouse and his company have suffered “irreparable harm” to their public images as a result of XRP scams on YouTube. The filing also claims that these scams have resulted in users being defrauded of “millions of XRP valued at hundreds of thousands of dollars.”
Crypto giveaway scams typically involve a bad actor impersonating prominent members of the cryptocurrency industry in an attempt to swindle users into sending funds in exchange for a chance at big winnings in return. Such scams also proliferate on social media platforms such as Twitter, with fraudsters impersonating the likes of Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk and others.
Imagine building up a YouTube channel with hundreds of thousands of subscribers, only to be hacked, and to have your channel turned into a puppet site for a crypto-scam. That’s exactly what’s been happening for months. Last week, it happened to Adam Jicha, a Czech YouTuber whose gaming channel Roth Wellden had over 300,000 subscribers. “Someone hacked my YouTube Channel with over 310,000 Subscribers and deleted all my videos. What to do? I can’t contact anyone, please help. @YTCreators,” Jicha...
Online scams like these have surged in the past month thanks to the growing COVID-19 pandemic. The Commodity and Futures Commission (CFTC) reports that as of January 1 of this year, coronavirus-related fraud has resulted in more than $13 million in total losses.
Last week, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) announced that it was expecting an upsurge in crypto-related fraud as the virus continued to spread. Common examples have included false BTC donation requests from organizations such as WHO and the CDC.
Crypto asset manager Canary Capital has applied for an exchange-traded fund tracking Cronos (CRO), the token affiliated with the Crypto.com exchange, according to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday. The S-1 registration form marks Canary Capital’s latest step toward potentially debuting its Canary Stake CRO ETF in the U.S. and adds to the growing list of altcoin-based funds before the regulator. The issuer registered a Delaware Trust entity earlier this month, l...
Just three days after debuting a multi-billion dollar fundraising plan to purchase Bitcoin, President Donald Trump’s Trump Media & Technology Group announced Friday that it has successfully raised $2.4 billion for its crypto treasury. The funds were raised via an offering of common stock and convertible senior secure notes, the company said. Roughly 50 institutional investors participated in the sale, which produced $2.32 billion in net proceeds. Those funds will now be used to create a Bitcoi...
How do you save an ailing publicly traded company in 2025? One answer, and an increasingly popular one at that, is: pivot to crypto—or more specifically, become a crypto treasury company. The previously unknown online gambling marketer SharpLink Gaming did just that earlier this week, when it announced it had raised $425 million in investment to establish an Ethereum treasury. It was a notable departure from the more common route of building a Bitcoin treasury, with Ethereum being the second lar...
