BitBoy, also known as Ben Armstrong, has recently hinted at major XRP announcements in relation to its global adoption. This suggestion came about during a conversation with community figure Edo Farina regarding XRP becoming a world reserve currency. Farina shared an image illustrating connections between Ripple executives, including Chris Larsen, and major financial institutions such as the Federal Reserve, U.S. Treasury, IMF, and the World Economic Forum. This image suggests that many Ripple officials have connections with influential decision-making bodies. Farina and others believe this points to XRP becoming the world reserve currency. However, BitBoy disagrees with this viewpoint, stating that it will not happen and that BRICS Pay, a payment system being developed by BRICS nations, has a stronger chance of claiming that status. Nevertheless, Armstrong acknowledges that Ripple and XRP will play a significant role in the future financial system. He mentioned upcoming announcements that could provide more clarity on the matter. This indicates that while XRP may not become the world reserve currency, its influence on future financial infrastructure cannot be ignored. Armstrong explains that his different view from Farina arises from having access to different information. He shows respect for Farina and acknowledges their agreement that XRP will thrive and play a big part in the financial system, despite differing opinions on the specifics.
