Alongside the news that Coinbase will now be listing as many tokens as they can possibly get hold of, XRP is absolutely skyrocketing. After a positive week, led by news of a pending xRapid launch, XRP has made incredible progression. After a period of correction seen yesterday, it seems that off the back of this news from Coinbase, there’s no stopping XRP. Okay, Coinbase haven’t announced that they will be listing XRP, however the news from Coinbase is that they are making it easier than ever for most cryptocurrencies to get listed on Coinbase. With this in mind, we expect that XRP will be included within this and that soon enough, a Coinbase offering for XRP will soon go live. What we do know, is that based on the trend we are seeing today, people are very keen for a Coinbase listing of XRP, here’s why: At the time of writing, XRP is valued at $0.53, up 18.85%. XRP is climbing at a rapid rate way ahead of the trend of nearby Ethereum and Bitcoin Cash, which are up just 1.88% and 1.52% respectively. The news regarding Coinbase has massively accelerated the progression of XRP, the community want it and the community need it. Why will Coinbase be so big for XRP? Generally, it’s assumed that Coinbase will make buying XRP safer and easier than ever. This is why the community are so big on Coinbase, they want it, because they know that a Coinbase listing will inspire a lot of new investment. This investment will pump up the price of XRP, letting those who bought in early reap some huge rewards from their investment. When will it happen? Okay, we can’t yet confirm that Coinbase will list XRP, but we can assume that if XRP is on their radar, it will happen sooner rather than later. Coinbase want to get the ball rolling and have announced that they will make some batch listings sometime soon. This will see a number of assets added all at once. If XRP has any chance of being added, we expect it to come within the first few batches published by Coinbase. If not, it’s clear they are still investigating XRP, in this instance, a listing will be pretty unlikely until XRP is cleared of all associations as a security, a debacle that still continues on within the United States SEC.
