The XRP Army can finally rejoice as Coinbase has made the decision to list Ripple’s digital currency (XRP), starting with Coinbase Pro, the exchange’s professional trading platform.
When XRP?? Now! XRP/USD, XRP/EUR, and XRP/BTC order books will soon enter transfer-only mode, accepting inbound transfers of XRP in supported regions. Orders cannot be placed or filled. Order books will be in transfer-only mode for a minimum of 12 hours. https://t.co/MWUtUm4wRh

According to the announcement, XRP/USD, XRP/EUR, and XRP/BTC trading pairs will be made available to investors once order books open. Starting today, investors can begin depositing funds. Order books will be transfer-only for the first 12 hours and, once a critical amount of XRP is reached, Coinbase will open the platform for trading.
As with previous asset listings, Coinbase does not have a timeline for XRP to arrive on the retail trading platform. Coinbase Pro users in the U.S. (excluding New York), U.K., supported E.U. member nations, Canada, Singapore and Australia will be able to trade XRP once live.
Following the news, XRP is up 11% on the day to $0.334382, giving the coin a $13.83 billion market cap.
