Bitstamp Teases Big XRP Announcement
Crypto exchange Bitstamp has tweeted a short video clip with the caption “Tomorrow” and XRP-related hashtags. Some members of the XRP community have made guesses about what the announcement could be.
What Could The Announcement Be?
Luxembourg-based cryptocurrency exchange Bitstamp has dropped a teaser concerning plans to drop a major XRP announcement today. On August 2, this exchange posted a tweet with the caption “tomorrow” and added XRP-related hashtags which include XRP Ledger (XRPL). The tweet contains a short video clip that hints that it is about to take XRP to the next level. One interesting scene in the video was an XRP rocket moving upward. Per analysis, the “so-called” announcement could likely set the asset up for a price surge. However, it failed to disclose the development that should be expected by the XRP community today. This has created a situation for users to make guesses. In the comment section, Panos, the founder of Digital Generation Finance suspected that Bitstamp is probably planning to announce a full integration of XRPL . He made another guess that the exchange may announce that DEX has been connected to order books.
