Let’s clear things up: Ripple registering as a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) with the Central Bank of Ireland is not the same as them partnering to use XRP for payments. This registration is a regulatory step, allowing Ripple to legally operate in Ireland, much like any other crypto firm wanting to do business there. But it doesn’t imply XRP will be integrated into central bank-related payment systems or that banks in Ireland—or anywhere else in Europe—will start using XRP for payments.

There’s no formal agreement that XRP will be used by any central bank, including Ireland’s. So, if you’ve seen rumors on Twitter claiming that European banks or the Central Bank of Ireland are adopting XRP for payments, those are exaggerated or downright false. Ripple’s registration doesn’t automatically translate to adoption of XRP by banks, and it’s highly unlikely that banks will start using it anytime soon.

So, while Ripple’s expanding its regulatory presence, don’t get caught up in the hype. Banks using XRP for payments across Europe? Not happening.

Let’s put this to rest: Elon Musk does not own any XRP. Despite the wild speculation and rumors about his involvement with Ripple, there’s no hard proof, and he’s never admitted to holding a single XRP. People love to connect him to every coin under the sun, but the truth is, he hasn’t even mentioned XRP. So unless Elon comes out and says otherwise, this is just another baseless rumor. Quit chasing ghosts.

Secret Shill Meeting: The Ripple Agenda

Meme Description:

Behind closed doors at the Ripple Shill Department, the team scrambles to find new ways to hype XRP and dump their tokens on unsuspecting investors without crashing the price. The boss is all ears as the first two ideas roll in—convince the community XRP will hit $589 and get them to HODL until 2050. But when one brave soul suggests just being honest about XRP’s drop to 48 cents, the boss doesn’t take it well… A window exit is the reward for honesty in this meeting!
