XRP, the second largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, was in particular excluded from the small but growing list of Coinbase options. Cryptocurrency fans constantly call for its addition to Coinbase, which many say would increase volume and, consequently, prices.
Speculation reached a feverish level in March, ahead of an appearance by Ripple's CEO, Brad Garlinghouse and Coinbase President and Chief Operating Officer Asiff Hirji, on CNBC's "Fast Money". The two managers were scheduled to appear in separate and unrelated interviews.
Nonetheless, cryptocurrency increased 10% that day on Twitter rumors and reports from other news agencies that XRP would finally make its debut on Coinbase. There was no announcement.
