Old Report on XRP and Digital Euro Sparks Fresh Buzz

  • —2020 CPA Australia report: France discussed Ripple and XRP for an EU digital currency
  • —No official confirmation from the ECB or Banque de France that XRP was chosen
  • —Ripple worked on a private XRP Ledger version for CBDCs with issuer control
  • —About 80% of central banks were exploring CBDCs at the time
Why it matters: Renewed attention to early central bank interest in XRP may support the token's narrative, but the lack of official confirmation limits the impact.
