Ripple’s XRP is affiliated with a number of banks, giving it a pole position to save banks from going on extinction after the much awaited cryptocurrency adoption, when digital currencies will be most preferable.
The growth of cryptocurrency has turned to a big challenge for fiat banks, its nature and growth has convinced a part of the world, preferring decentralised currency that cannot be controlled by third party (Government) to centralised that is absolutely governed by the “powers that be”.
Sometimes in April, a member of the Romanian National Bank Administration Council, Daniel Daianu acclaimed that cryptocurrency will be unable to overshadow national currency, but rather be adopted by banks.
Read his statement below:
“Cryptocurrencies won’t replace the currency issued by central banks, but these banks will be able to issue digital currencies”
Daianu proceeded by saying that cryptocurrencies can be best described as financial assets and will never succeed money issued by the central banks.
“When the banking system was saved, it wasn’t crypto banks that were saved… In my opinion, these are financial assets, not cryptocurrencies, and they won’t be able to fulfill the basic roles of currency,” Daianu added.
The above statements are Daniel Daianu’s opinion about cryptocurrency. This might not reflect the reality of what digital asset is all about. However, the growth of this currency is really causing panic as it continues to challenge the existence of national banking system.
