Montenegro Joins Hands With Ripple To Pilot First National Digital Currency — Huge Boost to XRP?
Ripple, the digital payment network, has partnered with Montenegro to help the small Southeast European nation develop its digital currency. The country’s prime minister, Dr Dritan Abazović, tweeted about the pilot project with Ripple on January 18, 2023, which did not go unnoticed by XRP enthusiasts.
Ripple To Develop National Stablecoin For Montenegro
Montenegro has commenced the creation of a digital currency following a collaboration with the global payments company Ripple. The nation’s Prime Minister, Dr. Dritan Abazović, announced his meeting with Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse e Ripple Vice President for Central Bank Engagement James Wallis via a tweet written in Bosnia.
Uma tradução livre de seu tópico de duas partes no Twitter diz: “A productive meeting with Ripple CEO Garlinghouse and Ripple Vice President of Central Bank Engagement James Wallis. We talked about developing a payment infrastructure that would enable greater financial accessibility and inclusion. Montenegro is open to new value and investment.”
The Montenegrin Prime Minister added that the nation is teaming up with Ripple on a pilot project for a national digital currency: “In collaboration with Ripple and the Central Bank, we have launched a pilot project to build the first digital currency or stablecoin for Montenegro,” he said.
Montenegro tornou-se candidato à adesão à União Europeia (UE) em dezembro de 2010 e suas negociações com Bruxelas foram iniciadas em 2012. Como está hoje, seu pedido ainda não foi aprovado. No entanto, o Euro é usado em Montenegro, embora não seja uma moeda legal.
O projeto envolve XRP?
Ripple has become increasingly active in the development of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) since pilotagem uma versão privada do XRP Ledger em março de 2021, fornecendo uma plataforma para bancos centrais de todo o mundo emitirem suas moedas digitais com segurança. Alianças e parcerias com a Autoridade Monetária Real do Butão e o República de Palau foram anunciados meses depois.
A empresa de blockchain está avançando mais no espaço da CBDC, mas o XRP fará parte dos projetos da CBDC? Esta é uma importante questão existencial. Até que ponto o livro-razão XRP ou mesmo a criptomoeda XRP desempenharão um papel em uma potencial moeda digital de Montenegro ainda é desconhecido.
The SVP and MD at Ripple, Brooks Entwistle, memorably noted during a recent interview that “there are places where we can play, maybe with a sidechain to the XRP ledger. We may help with the interoperability across this, but it’s going to be different for every single central bank.”
Enquanto isso, Ripple has been busy putting to bed its long-standing legal dispute with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission over whether XRP tokens were sold via an unregistered securities offering. Ripple chief Brad Garlinghouse expects the case to be concluded in the first half of 2023.
O XRP está sendo negociado atualmente a cerca de US$ 0.401, de acordo com dados do CoinMarketCap. A sexta maior criptomoeda caiu 3.05% hoje, mas valorizou 16.6% nos últimos 30 dias.
Looking ahead, we’re likely to hear more news of Ripple partnering with new countries to develop digital currency strategies. But will this unlock mainstream adoption of XRP as the majority of central banks integrate the token into their CBDCs? That much the future holds.
