Ripple: XRP is predestined as a neutral bridge asset between CDBCs

The RippleNet and XRP are predestined to create a “network-of-networks” that will enhance the benefits of individual CBDCs.

According to Ripple, open protocols and the creation of standards are a basic prerequisite for CBDCs to be interoperable worldwide.

In a new blog post entitled “Interoperability Will Determine CBDC Winners and Losers”, Ripple discussed the need for a networked system of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs).


As the San Francisco-based company explained, the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic has encouraged the use of contactless payments instead of cash.

The pandemic has changed the perspective of central banks around the world on issuing digital central bank currencies.

 According to Ripple, for CBDCs it is now a question of when, not whether. On the other hand, central banks’ positions on digital assets in general have also shifted, according to James Wallis, Vice President Global Sales Strategy & Operations at Ripple:

 Governments that once viewed digital assets as a threat, now see how companies like Ripple are working closely with traditional financial institutions to develop efficient, innovative global payment solutions that directly benefit businesses and individuals.


While countries like China are expected to go into production with their CDBCs this year and focus on domestic use cases, a world of CDBCs will require networking as a result of the global economy, Wallis said:

 While focusing on domestic use cases is understandable for individual countries, we live in an increasingly interconnected global economy.

 It will be critical to bridge the gaps between the various CBDC initiatives with existing payment systems as well as other digital currencies to ensure they are successful on a global scale.

What’s Causing the Current Bitcoin Crash and How Low Can it Go

Image
 Bitcoin’s price has been very bullish over the last couple of months. However, it is finally showing subtle signs of correction today. Therefore, it is worth analyzing the charts for potential support levels. Technical Analysis Bitcoin Price Analysis: The Daily Chart  On the daily chart, the price has been blowing past resistance levels one by one. Yet, today’s action has been very bearish, as the daily candle looks very bearish.   The price has dropped around 10% today before rebounding from the $40K support level. In case this level holds, it could initiate a rebound, and the market might rally toward the next significant resistance level, which is located at the $48K mark. On the other hand, a bearish breakout could result in a drop to the $38K and potentially the $31K zone.   BTC Price on The 4-Hour Chart The 4-hour chart demonstrates today’s decline much more clearly. The price has created a double top pattern around the $44,500 mark and proceeded to plunge to...

BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF Now Invites Participation From Wall Street Banks

Image
 A change to the structure of proposed spot bitcoin ETFs would enable authorized participants (APs) to create new shares in the fund with cash, rather than only with cryptocurrency, essentially opening the door to banks who cannot hold crypto directly. A change to the mechanics of BlackRock's proposed spot bitcoin (BTC) ETF opens the door for Wall Street banks, which face restrictions holding cryptocurrencies, to play a key role. BlackRock recently made it so authorized participants – a vital part of the ETF ecosystem – will be able to create new fund shares with cash, rather than only with cryptocurrency.   As highly regulated U.S. banks are unable to hold bitcoin themselves, this set-up would enable the likes of JPMorgan or Goldman Sachs – firms with some of the largest balance sheets in the world – to act as APs to BlackRock's ETF. (Whether they want to is another matter.) The cash APs use in this process can then be exchanged into bitcoin by an intermediary and warehoused ...
