Rumors about a link between Ripple and central banks
Brad Garlinghouse posted a tweet of the head of the EU central bank, Christine Lagarde – this was able to rekindle old rumors of a close relationship between Ripple and central banks around the world.
As the online publication, Crypto News Flash noted, Lagarde responded in a tweet on 2 September to a tweet from Ursula von der Leyen, head of the European Commission.

As the online publication mentioned above noted, Lagarde made three demands in her tweet:

– Climate protection as a priority
– Completed banking union and capital markets union, backed by cutting-edge payment systems2/2
