This article lacks any context whatsoever. XRP is still up from yesterday. Up 100% since last week. Also Coinbase has not said that it will not add XRP, just that they haven't made any decisions yet.

There's two ways to read what Coinbase said:

1/ "We have no plans to add Ripple"

2/ "Maybe we'll add it, but we haven't officially decided yet, so don't blame what the market does on us"

The key here is that they linked to their requirements for adding Cryptos, which strongly suggest that XRP will not be added for not being decentralized. This doesn't directly say it has to be fully decentralized though, so it's a bit of interpretation.

Why exactly did Ripple start going up in the first place?

After waiting for over a month now on my Coinbase purchase being stuck in Pending status, with absolutely no response from their Support, I'm getting tired of seeing Coinbase being seen as a leader in the Cryptoverse.

Some banks might use it. It's kind of like if there was a Napster clone in 1995 endorsed by a few record companies.
