'No Decision' on New Assets, Coinbase Says Amid Ripple Rumors
U.S. cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase is pushing back against rumors it may soon add Ripple's XRP token to its existing trading pairs. The speculation originated after it was revealed that Coinbase chief operating officer and president Asiff Hirji would appear alongside Ripple chief executive Brad Garlinghouse on a special episode of CNBC's "Fast Money" program on March 6. And despite any hard evidence of the presumed listing, the price of XRP rose to over $1 on Monday on the news.
