To kick things off for the new year, we are delighted to announce the launch of XRP trading on the Bitstamp exchange. A digital asset that is native to the Ripple Consensus Ledger, XRP will be paired with USD and EUR. The option to make XRP deposits and withdrawals will commence tomorrow, with full trading functionalities to commence on 17 January 2017.
If any further excuses to start trading were required, Ripple has a generous XRP incentive program in place. Naturally, we have passed these benefits on to you and so will be offering the following fee schedule for XRP trades to get things off to the best possible start:
0% fees until 10 February 2017;
75% discount on fees until 28 February;
50% discount on fees until 31 March;
25% discount on fees until 30 April;
As of midnight on 1 May 2017, the fee schedule that applies to bitcoin trading will then also apply to XRP trading.
As you would expect, we are very excited about making more services available to our customers. But the year is still young. Stay tuned for more developments as and when they arise!
As always, thank you for your continued support, and we hope you enjoy this upgrade to your Bitstamp trading experience!
