Did Ripple pay Coinbase to get XRP listed?

[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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
