🚀 Ripple CTO vs Custodia Bank CEO — XRP Debate Heats Up! 🔥
A new clash has lit up the crypto space after Custodia Bank CEO Caitlin Long shared her controversial views about Ripple, the $XRP Ledger, and the newly launched RLUSD stablecoin 💥.
🎙 What Sparked the Fire:
On the Gold Goats ‘n Guns podcast, Long argued that XRP has never fully delivered on its early promise as a bridge currency for banks 🏦. She questioned XRPL’s structure, Ripple’s funding approach, and even suggested that if the U.S. Treasury tokenizes T-bills, they’d pick Ethereum over Ripple due to adoption & maturity.
🛡 XRP Defenders Clap Back:
XRP supporter Vet jumped in on social media 💬, clarifying that XRP’s launch wasn’t an ICO — all 100B tokens were created in the genesis ledger with zero initial value. He pointed to XRPL’s 1,000+ nodes, 100+ independent validators, native DEX, and tokenization tools 💪.
Vet also noted that RLUSD is directly issued on XRPL and Ripple continues to actively use it for payments.
🤝 Schwartz Steps In:
Ripple CTO David Schwartz acknowledged Vet’s defense but publicly invited Caitlin Long to a fact-based, open discussion 🗣 to clear the air on Ripple tech, RLUSD, and XRPL’s global role.
⏳ Whether she accepts remains to be seen — but this debate has caught massive attention, showing Ripple’s willingness to face criticism head-on.
