After 10am on February 25, 2019 we will begin accepting inbound transfers of XRP to Coinbase Pro. We will
accept deposits for a minimum of 12 hours prior to enabling full trading. Please note that inbound transfers
require the specification of an XRP destination tag.

Coinbase Pro Users in the US (excluding New York), UK, Canada, Australia, and Singapore will have full XRP Support functionality, Coinbase has also confirmed that more Jurisdictions will be added at a later date.

This addition is coming as a very huge surprise as many have speculated that the digital asset will never make it to coinbase even after coinbase said it will be exploring the addition of more digital assets on its trading platform.

Coinbase has also hinted on the possible inclusion of XRP to Coinbase.com and its mobile apps,

Please also note that XRP is not yet available on Coinbase.com or via our mobile apps. We will make a
separate announcement when that occurs.
