Financial commentator Gary Cardone accused XRP of siding with authoritarian powers to stay relevant amidst a rumor that the European Central Bank may use the XRP Ledger for its digital euro project.
Gary Cardone criticized XRP and ECB President Christine Lagarde, likening XRP's role in global finance to a second wave of Covid-19 and implying support for XRP as voting for 'European warmongers.'
Speculation persists around the ECB potentially utilizing the XRP Ledger for the digital euro, although no official confirmation has been made, and Ripple has engaged with other central banks for pilot programs.
Crypto influencers refuted Cardone's claims, asserting there is no evidence of the ECB selecting XRP Ledger, highlighting the division within the crypto community regarding crypto projects collaborating with traditional financial institutions.
