So Diana just brought back this whole thing about whether Coinbase charged Ripple millions in listing fees. Apparently David Schwartz responded to it years ago but people keep digging it up. The thing is, he basically said people misread what happened during the negotiations. He made up some hypothetical scenario to show how a simple business disagreement could get twisted into 'Ripple paid for listing' when that's not what actually went down. He never confirmed Coinbase actually demanded any specific amount of money though. Kind of interesting how the XRP community keeps circling back to this. Like, Coinbase delisted XRP back in 2020 when the SEC lawsuit started, then relisted it in 2023 after the court ruled XRP sales weren't securities. Now it trades normally on there. But people are still wondering if there was some weird listing fee situation behind the scenes. Schwartz hinted in 2023 that he knew more details but couldn't say anything publicly, which obviously made everyone speculate even more. The whole thing gets mixed up with the SEC drama where both sides just frame everything in the worst possible way. Hard to know what's real versus what's just narrative at this point. Anyone else remember when this was the biggest mystery in the XRP world?
