  World of cross-border payments is HUGE & doesn’t revolve around the US. I’m not in the least bit pessimistic. Being told the digital dollar or US CBDC is a game changer for #XRP is misguided Q: Where did that narrative come from? I’m looking at reality and the reality is bright.

• From CryptoWhale:
