The Central Bank of France Considers XRP for CBDC The report published by CPA Australia highlights the efforts made by the Reserve Bank of Australia, PBOC, ECB, and Federal Reserve assuring Central Bank Digital Currency. Meanwhile, Ripple announced that the company is testing the private version of the XRP Ledger. The private version will be useful to global Central Banks in the management and issuance of CBDCs. Ripple also mentioned that the advent of the world’s first CBDC is inevitable. According to the CPA Australia Report, “Ripple and XRP enjoy the trust of many banks as a model for CBDCs because it is highly centralized and is based on a permissioned network where only certain network nodes can validate transactions, as opposed to decentralized and permissionless Bitcoin and Ethereum. Ripple also allows the creation of new currencies, and Ripple developers can decide the timing and quantity of supply in a similar way to current central bank operations.” XRP Platform Over Bitcoin and Ethereum Despite the SEC lawsuit filed against Ripple a few months back, it is observed that Ripple did not lose hope.
