Well-known XRP advocate Edoardo Farina, founder of Alpha Lions Academy, claimed that every XRP conspiracy theory is playing out in real time. His comments follow Ripple’s official confirmation that it has applied for a U.S. national bank charter, something that once seemed unthinkable for a crypto firm, but the XRP community vehemently championed.
