Did Ripple just reveal it signed up the Federal Reserve's Faster Payment System?

in #ripple7 years ago

It's not news that the Federal Reserve's Faster Payment Task Force has been reviewing Ripple as a contender for the next generation of payments. This was announced in a tweet on July 21st, 2017 by Ripple and has been pinned to their account ever since. If Ripple pinned this to their twitter account you can assume it's incredibly important to them, right? Here's a picture of the tweet pinned at the top of their Twitter feed:

What is more exciting and interesting however is the latest interview with CEO of Ripple Brad Garlinghouse that revealed this specific statement, "We also believe there's a powerful role that digital assets can play but that fiat currencies are going to continue to exist. Because we've engaged banks, governments and regulators and educated them on how digital assets can benefit them, we've found a receptive audience. We've signed up 90 banks now including the Bank of England, the Fed's Faster Payment system, and many others."

So what do you think XRP & Ripple enthusiasts. Was this a leak of the inevitable? Was this a preannouncement leak before Ripple's SWELL conference which has Ben Bernanke (former Fed Chairman) as the keynote speaker?

Things seem to be adding up and this just may be your last warning shot to buy up all the XRP you can to get on the Ripple Train!
