Today, February 5th should have been an exciting day for Ripple XRP as behemoth derivatives exchange BitMEX adds a new perpetual swap contract for its XRP token. But while BitMEX is “proud” to announce the new trading pair, CEO Arthur Hayes calls XRP “dogsh*t” on Crypto Twitter.

Ripple fans should be celebrating this listing and looking forward to more meaningful price action. Except that this day will now be tainted with a whiff of something unpleasant as BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes vocally disses Ripple’s token on Twitter.

“Is it called Ripple, XRP, or dogsh*t? Who knows, who cares. It’s worth more than zero so it’s time to trade the USD pair on BitMEX. Boo-Yaka-sha!“
