Ripple's Chief Technology Officer David Schwartz's early social media posts have recently resurfaced, hinting that Coinbase may have initially refused to list XRP and demanded a fee. In a post from 2023, Schwartz described a "hypothetical" exchange that required millions of dollars to list XRP, later revealing that this fee accounted for 20% of its total revenue. The community speculates he was referring to Coinbase, which delisted XRP during the 2021 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) lawsuit and relisted it after a court ruling in July 2023. XRP is currently trading at approximately $1.32.
