XRP Hype Shifts Into Overdrive as Binance CEO Meets With Ripple

By Daily Hodl Staff

A series of new tweets are fueling speculation that Binance is about to make a big move with XRP.

A picture of Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao with Ripple Senior Vice President Ethan Beard and TechCrunch founder Michael Arrington was posted today. The image was taken from the office of Liechtenstein Cryptoassets Exchange (LCX), a Binance backed fiat-to-crypto exchange that just launched.

After the Tweet was posted, Zhao quickly replied, joking that he could post a similar photo that might “reveal too much.”

Ripple’s dedicated fanbase on Twitter was quick to react, speculating that this may be a sign that Binance could add XRP to the new exchange as a fiat-to-crypto option, adopt xRapid, or add XRP as a base pair to its leading crypto exchange.

With the hashtag #XRPthebase, the Ripple community has been pushing to convince Binance that adding XRP as a base pair is a great fit, due to the speed of the digital asset. The addition would allow XRP to be traded directly on the platform with other cryptocurrencies.
