Ripple CTO vs Custodia Bank CEO – $XRP Debate Heats Up 🔥
A new crypto clash is brewing after Custodia Bank CEO Caitlin Long criticized Ripple, the XRP Ledger, and the new RLUSD stablecoin on a podcast.
Long said XRP never fully became the “bridge currency” banks hoped for, claimed its early funding raised doubts, and suggested the U.S. Treasury would choose Ethereum over Ripple for tokenizing T-bills.
$XRP supporter Vet fired back online, saying XRP wasn’t launched through an ICO, is decentralized with 1,000+ nodes, and still powers Ripple’s payment systems. He also noted RLUSD is issued on the XRPL, which has built-in tokenization and a DEX.
Ripple CTO David Schwartz then jumped in, inviting Long to an open, fact-based discussion to clear the air. Whether she accepts is still unknown — but the crypto community is watching closely. 🚀
