【Crypto World】Recently, a video of Elon Musk discussing X’s global financial system has gone viral again, and many people are starting to wonder: Will XRP or Ripple’s stablecoin RLUSD play some role in it?

To be honest, there are indeed some clues. There is a historical connection between X’s banking partners and Ripple, which seems logically connect the two. But this is all speculation. Elon Musk publicly mentioned XRP once in 2024, and that was just a general statement supporting the concept of cryptocurrencies, without revealing any specific details.

More importantly—X Inc., Ripple, and Elon Musk himself have not yet officially confirmed any substantial connection between XRP or RLUSD and the X Money payment system. So, these speculations are still “just rumors,” and should not be over-interpreted.

You're starting to make up stories again, guessing every day, but the officials haven't said anything.

Pure speculation, still just guessing without any evidence --- Half of what Elon Musk says should be taken with a grain of salt; don’t get caught up in the hype --- Instead of waiting for official confirmation, why not see who is accumulating XRP at low prices --- Laughing out loud, some clues = no clues at all, how many times has this trick been played --- Connecting historical links just to make a story? I have connections with Buffett too, we’ve had meals --- Another year, another "major speculation" on the eve of XRP’s big surge; the story is really well crafted --- Basically, without official approval, everyone is just daydreaming --- Wait, are Ripple and X’s banking partners really connected? This is the first I’ve heard of it --- Elon Musk’s casual words can cause a market move; this community’s mentality is really hard to sustain

Still making up stories, huh? XRP combined with the X payment system? Any clues? Bro, those are just mere hints, and the official hasn't said a word, yet they start weaving dreams. Not a single official announcement has been made; it's all fans' own speculation—typical pre-harvest for the leek harvest. Wait for the official announcement before shouting; right now, it's all capital playing kite and harvesting leeks. Don't be fooled by Musk's words; this guy relies on a meme to stir up chaos in the crypto world. They haven't even confirmed anything, yet they start going all-in; this bubble will eventually lead to a death spiral. Historical connection ≠ cooperation; how strained must the logic be to string it all together? Guesses are just guesses; don't treat expectations as a hammer to smash your own foot.

Is this the same old trick? Every time it's "there are some clues" and "they can be connected logically," but in the end, there's nothing haha Don't make things up without official confirmation, so the retail investors don't get cut again This XRP thing looks hopeless; instead of pondering this, it's better to look at projects that are actually making progress These speculative articles are really something; they make such big headlines just to say there's no confirmation? Basically, it's just riding the hype, and when Musk moves, it might trigger another information war

You're making up stories again. Don't speculate without an official announcement; it's easy to get caught up.

Still making up stories. Don't spread rumors without official confirmation. --- Can you trust what Elon Musk says? What about his last promise? --- Basically, it's just a bunch of speculation. The crypto world loves this kind of thing. --- Historical connection ≠ future cooperation. That logic is a bit far-fetched. --- Don't hype without solid evidence. Be careful of getting caught in a trap. --- Instead of guessing about XRP, why not see who is quietly accumulating? --- Brothers, without an official statement, we should stay calm. --- If even the official hasn't given the green light, what's the point of us hanging around here? --- Does this kind of reasoning even pass review? It's a bit absurd.

It's the same old trick, a video can hype up the market for a long time, alright, alright --- Just a guess, don't overthink it, no official statement means nothing is happening --- No official announcement and still speculating here, typical crypto circle rhythm --- Sounds like a story, but really it's just a story, haha --- Having a connection ≠ knowing how to use it, I'm tired of this logic --- Anyway, Elon Musk's words can always be interpreted differently, isn't that tiring? --- Don't spread rumors without confirmation, this kind of behavior hurts retail investors the most

You're making up stories again. One sentence from Musk can cause a three-month hype. If there was real cooperation, it would have been announced earlier.

Isn't this just the old routine in the crypto world? Speculating without confirmation Guessing is just guessing; the official hasn't said a word, and you're already connecting the dots It's Musk again, Ripple again—full of hype Clues? Ha, these days, some "clues" can drive people crazy Wait for the official announcement; anything said now is just a waste of time
