For lovers of XRP, CryptoBridge has given you the best Christmas gift of all – XRP trading pairs. The decentralized exchange (DEX) launched XRP trading pairs with Bitcoin and Ethereum earlier this week, and it’s boosting up its trade volume. It’s unclear as to why the DEX launched XRP trading pairs – and so few of them – but XRP fans won’t care much, they will just be happy to have another exchange around that supports their cryptocurrency.
Is Binance Getting on the XRP Bandwagon?
Shortly after the announcement on Twitter, Changpeng Zhao (CZ) – Binance CEO – hinted that Binance could be about to drop an XRP trading pair. Shortly after dropping the hint, Binance announced that it was going to list XRP – giving Ripple fans the best Christmas present of all. While the announcement hasn’t caused XRP to head to the moon, there is still potential as more traders jump on the XRP bandwagon.
Careful what you wish for. 🙂

Sending XRP with Siri
Ripple fans have had a great end to 2018 and the news just keeps getting better. At the start of December, a developer announced that his Siri integration that lets holders send XRP using only their voice commands was nearly ready. This creepy and scary integration could make stealing XRP so much easier, but as one Australian woman will tell you, it’s not worth the trouble.
UAE Playing with Ripple
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is looking to use Ripple to power its cross-border payments. However, it looks increasingly likely that the country is simply searching for clues and ideas on how to build its own crypto to fill these needs. If this is the case, XRP’s price could take a fairly large hit as the news breaks.
Getting Rid of XRP Fans
If – like much of the crypto world – you’re tired of seeing Tweets about XRP and how great it allegedly is, then the creator of Dogecoin has the perfect script for you. Once executed, the script will block every Twitter account that openly promotes XRP and the Ripple community. It’s a clever script if you are at the end of your rope when it comes to XRP chat on Twitter.
While XRP getting listed on CryptoBridge is a fairly big deal for XRP, it hasn’t had much impact on the price of XRP – the needle just won’t budge. If CZ isn’t fooling around and Binance is about to list XRP pairs, then we could see the XRP fanboys come out in the droves and the XRP price shoot through the roof.
