#XRP was on an interesting path when it was blocked by the SEC, instead of waiting for a resolution to a problem in one country, it grew, made deals with more companies than headlines can count, while one country blocked it due to evolution, others invested and formed alliances, and opened the doors for the integration of ISO 20022, being a centralized currency and potentially turning into a bank with all the autonomies that come with this last step, what secures this company to become the nerve center of most international transactions? Will it be the only one? Probably not! But it is already ahead of everyone, when the world wakes up this rocket 🚀 has already taken off....
