Brad Garlinghouse dismisses XRP SWIFT uncertainty

XRP has lately been in the headlines as a result of the ongoing dispute with the US regulators. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) had recently filed an opposition to the DPP ruling. The regulators have argued that the agency is merely seeking a do-over. Moreover, Brad Garlinghouse, the Chief Executive Officer at Ripple has dismissed XRP’s SWIFT uncertainty in response to the latest opposition. Meanwhile, the targeted sanctions have been escalated against Russia.

Ruble/Bitcoin hits nine months high

The West has escalated its targeted sanctions against Russia. It is noteworthy that the West is intending to prevent Russian banks from accessing the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT). The communication network would potentially help underpin the global financial transactions.

Furthermore, we have observed that the latest round of sanctions being announced by the US, EU, UK, and Canada against Russia meant that the nation would be expelled from SWIFT. The scenario will ultimately paralyze the assets of the Russian central bank.

Following the scenario, experts in the cryptosphere believe that more Russians will soon turn to cryptocurrencies in the aftermath of the RUB/BTC volume hitting a nine months record.
