Allegations that Ripple paid Coinbase to have XRP listed on its platform first surfaced in April 2018 and were reignited following a recent ruling in the Ripple vs. SEC case. ScamDetective, an anonymous on-chain scam detector, asked for information on how much Ripple paid Coinbase, but Ripple's CTO, David Schwartz, has refused to provide further details. Some believe Schwartz's response implies there is undisclosed information regarding XRP's listing on Coinbase. Bloomberg first reported the allegations in 2018, claiming Ripple offered $100 million to Coinbase for the exchange to list XRP, but Miguel Vias, Ripple's former Head of XRP Markets, debunked the claims in 2019. However, the allegations resurfaced following Judge Torres' recent rulings in the SEC case.
