Rosie Rios, the former United States Treasurer, recently posted a tweet praising the utility of XRP.
Rios claims in her tweet that the Ripple-affiliated digital currency is used for cross-border payments, which she believes distinguishes it from other digital currencies that are primarily used for speculation.
The former Treasury Secretary, whose name is on billions of dollars in circulation, believes that China’s most severe cryptocurrency ban to date is intended to emphasize the difference.
XRP’s primary purpose is facilitating cross border payments while other #Cryptos find their value in speculation. China’s latest move brings this point home. #Ripple #ripplenet #Bitcoin— Rosie Rios (@RosieRios) September 26, 2021
If you were wondering where some of these politicians get their ideas. We aren’t all on the same team, and we don’t all have the same goals. Don’t forget that.
After Ripple was sued by the US Securities and Exchange Commission last December, Powell said in March that XRP began posing a “huge asymmetrical risk” to exchanges.
