Crypto’s viral moment

Everyone and his uncle already know about the Libra coin after non-stop press coverage that kicked off on June 18. This undoubtedly gave major exposure to the whole industry — Garlinghouse states that more banks are now interested in Ripple’s xCurrent product after Facebook’s Libra appeared in the limelight.

According to Garlinghouse, Facebook venturing into crypto is a major sign that we have to ditch the likes of Western Union and SWIFT for more efficient means of transferring money.

I will send a case of champagne to David Marcus the guy who runs Libra,” Garlinghouse said of Facebook’s blockchain chief.

‘A lot of noise’

Garlinghouse also commented on the recent MoneyGram partnership that is considered to be a major milestone for Ripple. However, the fact that XRP barely showed any price action while the shares of MoneyGram spiked by a whopping 145 percent was quite unsettling for investors.

The Ripple CEO says that there is ‘a lot of noise’ in the Blockchain space, which probably why XRP fails to record bigger price gains.

However, as reported by U.Today, multiple technical indicators are showing a potential breakout for the XRP price.
