DCEX which is a San Francisco based startup announced about the launch of its digital asset exchange on Monday that is 30th July 2018. This crypto exchange is the very first in
the world to use XRP as its base currency. It is open for client registration as the trading and transactions will start sooner in the next few weeks.

advantage over other money movement options."

We have less XRP to USD pair for US customers. As Coinbase and other exchanges not ready to add XRP, new players with XRP pairs will get better reception. Coinbase/Binance is work around solution but it is not user friendly. As DCEX is SFO based, not sure whether they are in touch with Ripple. Hopefully both will work together to build XRP ecosystem.

That's interesting. I guess it will be the first exchange to use XRP as a base currency. Hardcore crypto enthusiasts don't really like XRP, so I don't know how popular this exchange will be. But surely it will bring more utility to XRP and increase it's value at lease in short term.

Why don't they allow people to start trading for the first few weeks, Maybe they just want to test and see the reactions of the market? Because every other exchange has bitcoin as the base currency for exchanging with other pairs. If it's not decentralized then I'd say ripple company is behind this exchange to promote their coin.

Woah! This is great news for XRP holders. There are lots of good news recently which are related to XRP but why does the price is still not pumping? Anyways, I want to try this exchange once it is open for trading. I'm planning to buy XRP. It seems that it is now ready to grow anytime.

Really - indeed the XRP is a very good competitor Ethereum. XRP was once in second position of coinmarketcap. Is this year going to properly displace the Ethereum position?!?

[StarKay]

This is definitely good news for XRP hodlers, Ripple has got another real world use case as traders on the exchange will one way or the other buy XRP.
I will expect more features from the exchange like zero deposit and withdrawal fee to attract large customer base.

All exchanges do this, really. Some just open test order books to let people try executing orders and complete them. Natural beta testing, don't want to launch something new before rigorously tested.

And yes I think like you, definitely Ripple behind this somehow. Testing the market maybe like you said. They are really desperate to see more people use XRP, although not sure Trading is really very useful for a token's utility value.

Is it a start XRP fight eth? I think XRP need long time to fight eth. Community is important. ETH developers are too many.Most ICO developers use eth platform. few of them use xrp. the community of eth is large around the world. cryptocurrency based on community. DCEX is building xrp community. That is a good start.

[rahimali]

A very good news for XRP community. It will definitely help XRP to gain acceptance of more users from crypto community and also increase the usage of Ripple coins, whih will thereby enrich the value of the platform as a whole.

This is a good news indeed, especially for XRP who made it such great heights in such a short period of time, that too being an altcoin.

[IgorShumilo]

I, too, will buy a few coins to try this exchange, see its functionality. But I continue to negatively talk about XRP, because this coin is completely centralized, a huge number of coins are stored on the purses of the creators. Guys be careful and do not invest the last funds in this coin. The best way to protect yourself against large losses is diversification.

[cryptoadobo]

This is great specially for XRP holders as DCEX chooses XRP as their base currency. Because of this many investors will buy more XRP to try the new exchange DCEX. Let see if this continue with a good result we will see a pump of price for XRP.

There has been a lot of good news from XRP recently but it still doesn't have effect on its price because in this bearish market, a lot of people in crypto chose to dump any coin irrespective of the prospect or news.

Using ripple for a crypto?

Well, i would definitely not put my foot in there. Ripple is not decentralized and has multiple different risks. I think it is a disastrous decision.

Similar are every ICO tokens.
I would call it a great move for decentralizing among crypto. With Bitcoin, Tether, Ethereum getting mainstream choice of exchange coins, Bitcoincash and now Ripple too are getting some attention.

I think this is really good news for people holding XRP. Although there are many who say that XRP is no future, XRP is still proving its value over time. I highly appreciate this and XRP has always been a great altcoin.
Buying and holding XRP in the long run would be a great decision.

[cryptotezi]

It’s will create a platform which will able to give a new experience to user but is it user friendly? If it is user friendly then it will be obviously a great idea.

Very interesting information. Using a ripple coin as a base coin, this is a new solution and it can be quite promising. Because the use of constantly bitcoin for this constantly distorted the crypto-currency market. We need a different monetary variety. Of course, this will also contribute to the popularity of this bank coin.
