However, others were concerned that insider trading might have been at play:

@cz_Binance Are you guys involved in insider trading ? Look at the screenshot. XRP was heavily pumped right before this announcement. Same thing happened for yesterday’s Nano announcement. ——-#Bitcoin (available on Coinbase) #nano #XRP #Ripple (available on Binance) #crypto pic.twitter.com/DgnBf0M6rF
