Fake? 😂 It was Gemini itself that posted the official billboard with Mastercard + Ripple + WebBank. Launch on 08/25/25. Get informed before talking nonsense.

The image you shared suggests an official product launch or partnership between XRP, Mastercard, and Gemini scheduled for August 25, 2025. However, there is no official confirmation or reliable announcement confirming anything of the sort.

What really exists

1. Gemini credit card with cashback in XRP

Gemini, in partnership with Mastercard, launched a credit card in 2022 that offers cashback in cryptocurrencies, including XRP, among others.

Since August 2023, Gemini users can choose XRP as a reward option.

In March 2025, Tyler Winklevoss (co-founder of Gemini) reinforced the benefit of 4% cashback in XRP for gas expenses and electric vehicle charging — up to a limit of US$ 200 per month — in addition to 3% on food, 2% at supermarkets, and 1% on other purchases.

There is also a promotion for new users who are approved by June 30, 2025, offering up to US$ 200 in XRP cashback when spending at least US$ 3.000 in the first 90 days.

2. Mastercard recognizes XRP as a "bridge currency"

Mastercard has been mentioning XRP as a "bridge currency" in reports on international remittances, particularly in the Latin America region, highlighting its use by companies like SBI Remit in Japan. This gives greater institutional credibility to XRP (without, however, announcing a product launch).

In 2023, Ripple was mentioned as a participant in Mastercard's CBDC Partner Program, but the program did not confirm integration of XRP in payment products.

3. Price predictions made by AI (Gemini AI)

Tools like Gemini AI (from Google) have been making price projections for XRP — ranging from US$ 4.45 to US$ 26.50 — but these are only predictions, with no guarantees or concrete actions in the market.

Conclusion: it’s fake

The image appears to be a creation by third parties — perhaps a meme or a promotional graphic piece — and does not reflect any official announcement of a real launch on August 25 involving XRP, Mastercard, and Gemini.
