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 (NYSE:) registered an “iShares 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 to surge roughly 12% before losing its gains when the falsehood was revealed.
