You might notice a trend in today's Crypto Digest. It's not all rosy in the crypto world. Or, to say the least, our rose bush just might have some thorns. At any rate, enjoy the #news and don't let it bite you in the digital asset (or any other part of your hawt bod).

Leading the crypto way today is Ripple Labs. But they might not consider this leading. It seems they're being sued in California in a class action suit claiming XRP is a security. Woops! And they keep saying it isn't.
If you have a hankering (and who doesn't have a hankering) to know how much crypto has been stolen this year so far, let me get you in on this well-known secret.

Oh, and did you know the top 100 EOS holders own 75% of the crypto? Did you care?
In case you're wondering, #Binance and #NEO are leading a $12 million funding round for Republic, which is an AngelList spinoff. And I never the original. Wasn't it on NBC?

Watch the video report here (and stop looking at this girl's lips):

But the most important question asked today is this one: Are decentralized exchanges the future of crypto trading? You know, I can just imagine that they are (but they'll have to leap over some hurdles first).
