Reece Merrick, the Managing Director of Middle East and Africa at Ripple, has taken to the X social media network to address one of the common misconceptions surrounding the XRP cryptocurrency. According to Merrick, the common one is that Ripple and XRP are believed to be the same thing. Some media outlets and even major exchanges have struggled to distinguish between Ripple and XRP.
