On Monday (January 14th), Singapore-headquartered cryptocurrency exchange Bitrue announced that by the end of January it would be listing XRP-based trading pairs for EOS, NEM (XEM), Polymath (POLY), and VeChain (VET).
Bitrue, which was founded in 2018, has quickly become a favorite with members of the XRP community because of the high degree of enthusiasm, support, and transparency shown by its management towards XRP. What is interesting about Bitrue is that it supported XRP as a base currency on the day that its trading platform was launched (19 July 2018).
Here is how Bitrue announced today’s news on Twitter:
Happy Monday XRPCommunity! We've brought you some love❤️❤️❤️
We're targeting to add 4 more long-waited XRP pairs by end of the month!🙌 By completing this we would have 30 XRP Pairs! #xrpthebase

We need to remember what Bitrue announced on 27 December 2018:
🔥We're happy to announce that we will be on-boarding all #XRP trading pairs in the next couple of months! 🔥
We're planning to add 5 pairs in the 1st week of 2019, so please give us a shout on your most needed #XRP pair! #xrpthebase https://t.co/i7RmZi2Lxh pic.twitter.com/8aDF796wPv

And since we had 26 XRP trading pairs before today’s announcement, it looks like Bitrue will have at least 30 XRP trading pairs by the end of this month, just as they promised on January 11th.
