"$XRP is not a cryptocurrency?

The recent controversy has reignited the debate over the nature and purpose of Ripple's XRP. Critics have highlighted its centralization and questioned its value as a legitimate cryptocurrency, arguing that it is merely a 'token in a database.' In addition, some claim that stablecoins have rendered its use as a bridge currency obsolete.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin advocates continue to compare the two technologies, reinforcing the superiority of $BTC in terms of decentralization and security.
