[Baofeng]

Very interesting:

Rumors are circulating that California-based cryptocurrency exchange platform Coinbase, supposedly violated its very own listing policies in order to include XRP in its trading portfolio.

On February 25, Chepicap reported that according to the Coinbase blog, XRP will soon be available for trading on Coinbase Pro.

However, rumors are now circulating that claim that Coinbase Pro has breached its very own listing policies in order to include XRP in its trading portfolio.

According to Diar.co, before Coinbase takes the step to listing a new cryptocurrency asset, it takes in consideration the level of team ownership.

I'm not aware that XRP is not listed on their Coinbase Pro that's why I was surprised to read this news. It did pumped XRP around 10% though after the news. The argument is that Coinbase Pro takes into account the level of team ownership, which is very questionable since XRP holds around 60% of the supply. Coinbase as per "The ownership stake retained by the team is a minority stake.". What's your take on this? Did they violated their own policy here or did they accept a paid listing here? Share your thoughts.

We cannot know if that news are true or fake news only. Lets try to find out other news that really confirms to that news.
I think once the ripple pay coinbase is not good for their reputation or not helpful because I believe on the ripple coin and I think even the ripple did not pay coinbase possible it can be listed because once  they see the coinbase company ripple is potential it will be listed to their wallet.

Rumors are always fun to watch. There is always going to persist some clouds over this subject, but I don't think it has any effect on price.

[Luvr1000]

this is one of the most famous and top exchanges in my opinion and I think it would not risk such actions in order to include the ripple in your exchange, I think that this is just a rumor and it does not need to betray great importance, this is my opinion

[VanDeinsberg12]

Rumors are always fun to watch. There is always going to persist some clouds over this subject, but I don't think it has any effect on price.

It certainly has some serious effect toward the price mainly because it is going to be listed into another popular exchanges.
Even some altcoin would happily pay huge amount or giving away few percent ownership of the overall token to the exchanges just for token listing.
However in this case I can't clearly see Ripple did pay the coinbase to get listed however it is really common in crypto world that listing needs money ofcourse there is exception for some exchanges.

I am not surprised to see this news about RIPple. Xrp is coin created by greedy bankers and they are ready to boost its promotions with their network. Hope they will never reach their goal and the true meaning of crypto will live forever.

[manggis97]

We dont know that,  but in my opinion Coinbase should be listed XRP because this coin has great product and technology,  alot of big company has been use the product of xrapid. We can see another all big exchange  has been listed XRP without any listing fee.

I agree, for me somethings fishy is going on under the table:

https://twitter.com/alistairmilne/status/1100392114834341889/photo/1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1100392114834341889&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.chepicap.com%2Fen%2Fnews%2F7765%2Fdid-ripple-pay-coinbase-to-get-xrp-listed-.html

So it looks like they really paid Coinbase Pro lots of money just to get their coins listed. Are we surprised by this? I don't think so, just look at how they battled it out with Ethereum in the last couple of months and I'm sure they are hell bent to go to the #2 position in the altcoin market.

[Bttzed03]

I'm following this story. I do not really care much about XRP but there's a lot at stake here for Coinbase if this said rumor turns out to be true.

I also think about it we all known ripple is controlable by a bank so Im not suprissing if they paid to get listed on Coinbase Pro, whatever they did we really dont known only Coinbase known the truth,just ride the fun and make some money in this pump happen to ripple.

[Herbert2020]

did they really add XRP or is it just one of the bullshit news articles that is only imagination of the author, i can't find it on their platform though and if it is rumor then we shouldn't even discuss it.

but if it is reality and they did add it then yes it is a violation of their own rules although it is their own rules and they can do whatever they like with them! and exchanges have always cared about money and nothing else. XRP team paying them is a good amount of money and also it is one of the big pump and dump shitcoins which means good trading volume during pumps and also dumps and it can give them more profit.

[Alucard2425]

In my belief Ripple doest not need to pay Coinbase because Ripple is already has a great place in the market it's platform is well establish already i think Ripple deserve it to be listed in Coinbase

Yes, I guess we really need to ride it out and see how it goes for XRP. For those who loves to join the hype train, then be my guest, lol. Just like the rest of you guys here, we all know who are the people behind this coin and what are the intentions behinds.

@Alucard2425, the issue here is whether Coinbase violated their own terms, but as others may have put it, money talks and everyone is here in the business to make more money, so I guess we can't blame Coinbase for listing them in exchange of a huge some of money.

Oh well, it clearly violates their own rule but what can we do? Coinbase will be Coinbase, it may hurt their reputation, but not a bit I think, and they may not even care to honest. And  like what the rest of the members here are thinking, it's good money flowing in their ecosystem, so everyone can join as long as they're willing to shell out big money to be listed then everything can be done.

[bartolo]

Without evidence, anything people say will be nothing more than speculations. The point is that, even when the rules are strict, there is always room for exceptions. It's possible that they have decided to make an exception because they expect a big trading volume if they add this coin. Furthermore, they know that they can do whatever they want, no one will care.

[bonker]

Who knows it maybe true,because everyone is working here for money so if there is an opportunity to make money then it may happened.But it is not going to influence the price of XRP for long term,there will be some dump due to the coinbase traders,so don't invest on XRP just because it listed on coinbase exchange.

I agree with you, Ripple has been repeatedly accused of speculation. The SEC even took up the question. And I generally heard that a lot of exchanges are against Coinbase. On all social networks a lot of hashtags that call to abandon the exchange.

[Febo]

Did Ripple pay Coinbase to get XRP listed?

Ripple always give XRP to any exchange it gets listed on. Same to any other company that builds infrastructure for them. That is how their business model works. they have more then half XRP to give away still.

[danherbias07]

What a great marketing strategy!!!
They sure do their research on how to create a hype just so their coin can get a 10 percent increase in value.
These are just rumors and yet it gives a boost for their coin.

I hope bitcoin supporters will have this kind of ideas to pump it up and we will all be happy.
Just not lies though. Something great that will blow the community and the government.

I have repeatedly met information that the team of this project is trying by any means to increase the rating of their coins in the cryptocurrency market. Today, there are even bounty companies that will actually advertise coin ripples.

[Tahdayi]

I doubt that a giant like ripple to pay the purse , this was a good position in the market , I think the purse thought misses the opportunity to earn it and added the purse!

[Reid]

Could be a good thing for traders.
Better abuse it before it goes away. Buy the rumors and then sell when there is enough profit or better just a little profit will do. 
This might happen for just a while and if the facts comes out it will be dumped again.

I am risking a little to buy some XRP even if I dont really like it. Just to see if there will be profits out of this.

Ripple has come a long way and has proven its mettle. Getting listed on CoinBase will be well deserved in my opinion and will go further to prove that a sustained project is key to blockchain adoption

[nikola22]

many wanted XRP get listed on Coinbase and now it's a fact. of course some people will ask "did Ripple pay" but it has no matter even if it has happened.

[pixie85]

Anything is possible with Coinbase. They are still holding BTG and other bitcoin forks with low value per coin and they are hiring teams to trace your coins. The next step will be selling information to governments, blocking privately owned coins on demand, maybe even selling your own personal info with your addresses to the highest bidder. They know there's a lot of money to be made in the space.

[fullhdpixel]

I wouldn't know if ripple paid coinbase to get it's coin listed, I obviously don't work with coinbase, lol.
Though it is good to confirm the authenticity of the news before spreading it because we have a lot of haters in how community which can do anything just to bring us down.

I don't believe coinbase will break it's policy to get XRP listed but will possibly adjust the policy to suit what they want to do.

[No Pain No blood]

Rumors are always fun to watch. There is always going to persist some clouds over this subject, but I don't think it has any effect on price.

Not really, if the rumor is indeed the hype I feel has an impact on the price. isn't this the way speculators become profits, so sooner or later the price of XRP will rise, whether it's flying or not, there will definitely be an increase.

[maculeth]

I just saw ripple in CoinBase at a price of $ 0.3, maybe the news is correct. or I only see ads running.

[therhslv]

I think its not a big surprise , if somebody would offer you millions of $ to get listed on exchange you own ( Lets say you own exchange that is top5 list ) , would you reject the offer ? =]

[frchowe214]

Ripple prices haven't moved at all since news broke out. People have been waiting forever for xrp to be on coinbase then when it finally happens no one buys or cares

Coinbase’s customer base is not the financial institutions, payment providers and businesses that use RippleNet and would need XRP. From that perspective, you can understand why Coinbase has not yet listed XRP. If individual consumers want XRP, it’s not because as consumers they are going to use XRP to buy something like with litecoin or bitcoin cash, or as a store of value like bitcoin. If individual consumers are buying XRP, they should be doing so because they believe XRP will be valuable to the financial institutions, payment providers, and businesses that eventually use XRP on RippleNet. Just my two cents on this. Better get going as I continue monitoring my live trading sessions. Best of luck!

[icalical]

Oh, hell yeah, another bad rumour about Ripple.  Besides, I do not invest in Ripple, I rarely used coinbase too. So, I don't really pay attention on this news. But...

The fact that Ripple has received much hate from the crypto community and how several bad rumours have been addressed toward the project must be related. I don't say that Ripple is good project, since I don't believe in their fake decentralization too and I think they deserve the hate from the crypto community. But eventually, we need to deal with it, accept that Ripple team has their own smartway to reach their goal. And it does not matter how much hate we have, Ripple help crypto and blockchain, in general, to be more recognized by mainstream people.

[el kaka22]

I guess everyone pays to be listed somewhere.
Do you really think all these coins that get listed on exchanges get it done for free? Those exchanges list those coins because they just like it ? I have a friend who listed his own coin somewhere and he had to pay about 2.5 bitcoin for listing price and also gave them about 5% of all of printed coins just to get him listed and keep the market volatile and the volume high.

This is an unknown little coin in an unknown small exchange. Think of how much ripple must have paid to be listed at coinbase, to start of with Ripple paid 4 million dollars to Ellen via Ashton just to market their product, so considering they are rich enough to make a 4 million dollar donation, I am sure getting listed at Coinbase is just a cheap future investment.

[BitcoinHodler]

it is not unheard of from a centralized altcoin to pay an exchange to add their coin to their list so that they can pump their coin because they know they have no chance on getting pumped but to do things like this to get some temporary hype and stay alive for a little bit longer.
if they did, they failed at it though

Rumors and speculations are all normal in cryptocurrency sphere so why we should bothering ourselves about it. For better result we must focus on what we are doing like if we do trading lets just pay our full attention about it to maximize our strength and unleashed our true potentials. Coinbase Pro Exchange and Ripple are Both giants in their respective sphere so whatever they agreed upon its their choice and nothing we can do about it.

[BitBustah]

Coinbase only cares about profit and if listing XRP is going to give them more revenue they will do it.  Its clear that Coinbase has no morals after they got caught selling user data.  The name of the game is money and businesses will do anything to obtain it.

[andor.gellenhidi]

It is quite possible that this will be so, because it is a normal practice, when people understand that it is better to pay a little and, as a result, to earn on it many times more, but then I don’t quite understand how everything will turn out right.

[xrpholder1982]

I think at the start of 2018 XRP had about 46 direct FIAT on ramps globally.  Currently there are about 210+ FIAT pairings for XRP globally.  No other digital asset is building global liquidity like XRP, especially throughout Asia, Middle East, Brazil, Philippines and Canada.  In Jan 2018 Coinbase definitely had the upper hand but at this point I'd say that coinbase NEEDED XRP more though its no doubt mutually beneficial.  Especially when you consider that Bakkt, Etoro and others will be breaking into the US market likely later this summer/fall.   I expect further delays into the Fall regarding these exchanges but they are coming.  Coinbase will be a very small fish 2 years from now.  

[sedahan13]

All others exchange listed XRP for free because they know alot trader and investor will interesting with XRP, so i think Coinbase also listed XRP for free. Fundamental and mass adoption of XRP is strong so should be all exchange listed it because will give benefits for investor later.

[Forbiddenone]

This hype was nothing compared to 2017 end hype ,xrp goes into insane rally mode and we have see one of the biggest manipulation in major altcoin .it might be possible that they have payed for the listing but xrp has good exchange volume so it is not difficult for it get into coinbase as they have searching for new coin to add on.

I, too, without a difference in rumors and even methods of promoting a coin. I like Ripple, I expect to arrive 50-110% this year.
