A Rumor That’s Setting the Market Ablaze<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It all started with an interpretation of an interview with Michael Saylor<\/strong>, the emblematic figure of the Bitcoin<\/a>-only<\/strong> camp. Some analysts believed they detected a slight opening toward Ripple<\/strong> technology, which immediately triggered a wave of speculation. In a market sensitive to institutional signals, the slightest nuance can be enough to spark a frenzy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

XRP’s<\/a> resilience against the SEC<\/strong> and its growing adoption among financial players have reinforced this optimistic reading. For the XRP Army, the idea that part of MicroStrategy’s<\/strong> treasury could one day be allocated to XRP has fueled strong FOMO<\/strong> across social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the fundamentals remain clear: Saylor considers Bitcoin<\/strong> as a unique “digital property” and superior store of value. Conversely, he has often expressed reservations about altcoins. A strategic pivot toward XRP would therefore seem, at this stage, highly improbable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
