Rumọ̀r say na dem go list XRP for Coinbase don rekindl debate about delisting and fees
Old X posts wey resurface from Ripple CTO Emeritus David Schwartz don kick small debate again whether Coinbase purposely refuse to list XRP “on purpose.” Crypto commentator Digital Asset Investor talk about Schwartz discussion of hypothetical “listing fee” scenario, wey one exchange allegedly ask for millions make dem list am, even though e for later enjoy XRP liquidity and adoption.
Schwartz no confirm say Coinbase really demand “millions.” E talk say real-life negotiations fit mistaken for pay-for-listing, especially as SEC-era court matter don twist the story. The latest article still repeat Schwartz claim say XRP once make about 20% of Coinbase revenue after dem list am, and say XRP community interpret him May 2023 remark as fit be about Coinbase.
Traders dem sef get reminder of Coinbase timeline for SEC case: Coinbase list XRP before SEC lawsuit (Dec 2020), delist am during SEC security argument (2021), then relist after Judge Analisa Torres rule say XRP no be security (July 2023).
As dem write this, XRP dey trade near $1.32, down more than 2% for the day (CoinMarketCap). Overall, na more like sentiment catalyst around Coinbase–XRP regulatory legacy than new exchange action or fresh regulatory ruling.
Neutral
Dis news na big majority na na rearrangement of story, no be new Coinbase decision or regulatory change. Wetin Schwartz talk about “listing fee” na put as hypothetical scenario, and e no ever confirm say Coinbase demand millions from Ripple. Di repeated SEC-era timeline (list → delist → relist after Torres ruling) fit affect trader sentiment and debate about exchange risk, but e no add new, verifiable facts wey go directly change XRP supply/demand dynamics.
Short term, renewed headlines fit amplify volatility through sentiment and speculation. Long term, market direction for XRP suppose still depend more on ongoing regulatory outcomes, liquidity, and adoption rather than on reinterpreted past Coinbase–XRP events.
