## Top 4 Reasons Why Ripple is Exploding UP! #MarchTo100

###### Keep in mind, this all speculation as to why Ripple is climbing upward.

1. A video was "leaked" which shows a beta Coinbase page where it shows Ripple as one of the available cryptocurrencies you can choose from.

   **Note:**  This is the Internet and anything can be faked.  

2. Miguel Vias - Head of XRP Markets at Ripple.
   Many seemed to take this as a *"signal"* that they are working with Coinbase. This only seems to highlight the "leaked" video as potentially true.

# Ripple Price Increase

These bits of speculative news has driven the price of Ripple to soar from .20 a few weeks ago to $3.11 (as of writing this).  It has far surpassed Ethereum in the #2 spot and at this rate, it could take the #1 spot if the rumors are true of Coinbase.  

These rumors are causing a frenzy of people rushing to buy Ripple before there is the expected announcement on the 20th of this month.
