In a surprising interview given just outside the courtroom, Brad Garlinghouse (Ripple CEO) announced that Ripple will partner with the famous meme coin PEPE on a 10 years partnership.
He said "We've failed to replace SWIFT in the last ten years, but I'm confident that XRPEPE will be the one and only currency of the world in 2034".
When asked why Ripple chose to partner with that specific meme coin and not any of the older ones such as $DOGE or SHIBA, Brad said that "Everybody loves $PEPE , my wife loves Pepe, her boyfriend loves Pepe, even Gary loves Pepe."
This announcement has taken the crypto community by surprise, and it's fair to say that all the XRP fans who have been waiting a decade for Ripple to finally have a use case are cheering all over the world.
We dared to interview one of the dozen people in rags holding signs outside the courtroom and Andy was delighted to share his excitement "I've been waiting for so long mate, I knew it, I sold my house, my family moved on the other side of the country but I never sold my $XRP , I knew they would do it, can't wait to see the pepe rise again".
Exciting times ahead of us, that's for sure, but will XRPEPE be the next currency everybody talks about... Or is it just a way for Ripple to finance their unending trouble with the Secure Eradication Commission?
Time wil tell.
