• December 7, 2021 3:54 pm • CommentsThere is a lot of speculation as to whether cryptocurrencies are a completely spontaneous invention, or if they are the work of government agents.
More specifically, many speculate as to the role of XRP and Ripple in all of this.

He mentions that going forward there will be a particular emphasis on cross-border payments, citing speed and lower costs as two metrics to target.
