First off we start with China’s new law aimed at developing blockchains increasing role as a replacement for Fiat currency active 1st Jan 2020.

According to the Chinese congress, the new law will also encourage nationwide educational efforts, such as public exhibitions, to promote cryptography among government officials, companies and social groups.

Although trading crypto remains illegal for now, many feel the law will open up some 1.3 Billion people to cryptocurrencies such as XRP, perhaps sooner than later.

In China, people are already making most payments with mobile phones, add to that the fact that there are now more Chinese millionaires than in the states.

Soon to be head of the ECB Christine Legarde and Facebook meat smoker Zucks have both warned of what could happen if the US is left behind.

While being grilled in congress regarding Libra coin, Zucks warned officials of the dangers of not getting to the finish line with crypto tech first.

I was born as a citizen if this world, the risk I see is that the united states is at risk of losing leadership, and that would just be a terrible development.

And respect.

CURRENCY HEADACHES - Christine Lagarde takes the reigns at the European Central Bank in under two weeks, some feel she will immediately try to digitize the EURO much like China is doing right now…

With most of the worlds fiat currencies now looking into digitization with stable coins, what does this all mean for Ripple’s XRP? 

XRP is designed to be the intermediary between all fiat currencies and global cross border payments and it is already doing incredibly well at that job.
