Stop pricing the internet of value like a company. 100B $XRP for global settlement is nothing — Central Banks, DTCC, SWIFT and R3 are going to need more than you can imagine! Not Financial Advice - DYOR.

before crypto, i worked at some of the top firms on wall street, @GoldmanSachs and @blackstone.
and from speaking to many of my ex-colleagues on wall street, i can confidently say that big banks have never been more scared of crypto eating their lunch.
in fact, they're so scared, that jp morgan, citi and others are planning to launch their own tokenized deposit network to compete with crypto.
but if you like crypto, you won't like the banks' alternative. in fact, you'll want to steer well clear.
here's why:
- with their network, you won't own your money
if the bank fails or faces a run, you lose your tokens (just how you would with your fiat). the main beauty of crypto is that you hold your private keys so you are fully in control of your own money (no one can freeze it).
- it's a permissioned, closed network
access to their network still requires the banks' permission. unlike public blockchains, which are permissionless and let anyone participate.
- run by the banks who've been campaigning against crypto
their network will be run by The Clearing House (payments company owned by JP Morgan, Citi, BofA and other big banks). do you really think they have the consumers' best interests at heart?
- no privacy or transparency
the beauty of crypto is that you can make transactions without a middleman and no one can freeze your funds. however, every transaction on the banks' network will be subject to their oversight and must fall within their KYC / AML processes. this means governments and banks can still freeze your funds for whatever reason they want.
- designed to keep the banks in full control
they want a system that will let them keep their fees and revenue model. stablecoins threaten to pull billions in deposits away from banks - this is their last ditch attempt to stop that.
- limits defi innovation
by controlling their own permissioned blockchain, banks prevent users from using other blockchain protocols that could allow them to get higher yields etc (one of the main attractions of defi for many users).
The Credit Suisse episode was the first major test of the post-crisis resolution framework for global banks. A working paper traces how investors repriced bail-in risk across 94 European banks the following year & what it means for bail-in credibility: https://t.co/AYcQQuAgo2
@subjectiveviews That has always been my thesis. No way would America just Willy nilly accept a digital shift, there would have to be a “we have too or else….” Moment.
Central banks are building CBDCs on private versions of the XRP Ledger. When they need to settle cross-border, they'll connect to the public ledger, making XRP Ledger the global RTGS and liquidity marketplace. #XRP#CBDC#DigitalCurrency
