The lovers of Ripple saw their emotion and happiness fall, knowing that Coinbase did not add new cryptocurrencies to their portfolio, at least for the moment.
The speculation originated after it became known that the head of operations and president of the Coinbase platform, Asiff Hirji, appeared with Ripple's CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, in a special episode of CNBC's "Fast Money" on March 6. .
This caused the price of the XRP to rise to more than $ 1 on Monday. During CNBC's Fast Money program, some readings were made, where rumors were ruled out, that Ripple would be included in the well-known Coinbase platform.
It was thought that Ripple would follow the steps of Bitcoin Cash, in this sense. Ripple is currently the only currency among the top 5 by market capitalization, which is not included in Coinbase.
Ripple enjoys great commercial interest, so it is not ruled out that Coinbase will add XRP in the future. Coinbase stated the following: "Our statement of January 4, 2018 is still valid: we have not made the decision to add additional assets to GDAX or Coinbase. Any contrary statement is false and is not authorized by the company. "
After this statement, the price level of the XRP fell back to its previous.
