So far, XRP has been one of the most debated cryptocurrencies in the crypto sphere since it declared its plan to be centralized. Ripple developed 100 billion tokens and gifted 80% of them to Ripple Labs. The company’s founders (Chris Larson, Jed McCaleb, Arthus Britto) were the ones who stockpiled the largest amount of XRP.

Currently, there is an ongoing lawsuit against XRP status, the recurring question of whether the coin is a security or not. If the token is acknowledged as security, Ripple would have to follow SEC regulations. Also, if otherwise, the company could be hit with a huge fine for selling unregistered security. Though, Selkis does not believe that SEC will be able to bring up a case against XRP.

“If the SEC was willing to settle for a mere $24 million with Block. One over their yearlong $4 billion EOS crowd sale, then I don’t think we should expect to see a case against Ripple, whose advisory ranks are best in the industry (ex-regulators Mary Jo White (SEC), Ben Lawsky (NYDFS), Gene Sperling (White House) are advisors or directors).”

20 Biggest Banks Will Adopt Crypto in 2020 – Ripple CEO

The CEO of Ripple, Brad Garlinghouse, envisages that the biggest banks in the world would adopt cryptocurrencies in 2020. Along with other team members, he also expects that many government-backed currencies will be digitalized in the year 2020.

The year 2020 is assumed to be the year when cryptocurrencies will continue their advancement, and not everyone will be able to survive. Garlinghouse mentions that the industry will see some “consolidation” within crypto companies. Meaning that many of them might not stand the test of time.

“The world doesn’t need 2000+ digital assets. While I don’t think there will be one coin to rule them all, it’s clear that if an asset doesn’t have a proven use case beyond speculation, it is not going to survive.”
