Brad Garlinghouse Says XRP (XRP) Is Completely Decentralized

A couple of months back, the U.S SEC said that Ethereum (ETH) is not a security under federal law, stating that although the digital currency started via token sale, it has become decentralized over the years. Since William Hinman – the Director of the SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance – gave his opinion about the decentralized nature of Ethereum (ETH) and Bitcoin (BTC), XRP supporters have been doing all they can to prove that the digital currency is decentralized.

During the just concluded Swell conference by Ripple, the CEO of Ripple – Brad Garlinghouse responded to criticisms that the digital currency is not decentralized. Garlinghouse said that “XRP is very clearly decentralized.” He also said that even as the CEO of the firm, he doesn’t have control over the digital currency.
