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.

Following hours of radio silence on the issue, Coinbase took to Twitter to quell the rumors, stating that a January statement about listing new cryptocurrencies ā which details how a "committee of internal experts" ultimately makes those decisions ā hadn't changed.
Our January 4th, 2018 statement continues to stand: we have made no decision to add additional assets to either GDAX or Coinbase.

Any statement to the contrary is untrue and not authorized by the company. https://t.co/X04oN6BcGp
As for the planned CNBC segment, it's not entirely clear at this time whether Garlinghouse and Hirji will speak on a panel together or appear separately.
Host Melissa Lee tweeted a screenshot of a promo for the crypto-themed segment earlier today, which also lists Passport Capital founder John Burbank and Social Capital founder and CEO Chamath Palihapitiya.
A spokesperson for Ripple declined to comment on the rumors when reached.

Coinbase Sees Crypto Recovery Ahead as Liquidity Improves and Fed Rate Cut Odds Climb
The crypto exchange also took note of a so-called AI bubble that continues to go strong and a weaker U.S. dollar.
Lo que debes saber:
- Coinbase Institutional is seeing a potential December recovery in crypto, citing improving liquidity and a shift in macroeconomic conditions that could favor risk assets like bitcoin.
- The firm's optimism is driven by rising odds of Federal Reserve rate cuts, with markets pricing in a 93% chance easing next week, and improving liquidity conditions.
- Several recent institutional developments, including Vanguard's crypto ETF policy reversal and Bank of America's greenlighting of crypto allocations, have contributed to bitcoin's rebound from recent lows.
