Google’s Possible Engagement with XRP Ledger Sparks Speculation
There is a buzz in the crypto community as rumors circulate about Google’s potential involvement with the XRP Ledger (XRPL). Edo Farina, CEO of Alpha Lions Academy and Head of Social Adoption at XRP Healthcare, shared a screenshot on Twitter showing data of computers running nodes on the XRPL and their IP addresses.
In the list of addresses, an IP address associated with US tech giant Google was displayed. Google’s LLC was also listed as the Internet Service Provider (ISP). This led Farina to conclude that Google was running XRPL nodes similar to Microsoft, who runs an XRPL validator node through its Azure Blockchain as a Service (BaaS).
The news of Google potentially running a node on XRPL has generated excitement among XRP community members, who hope that Google’s involvement will bolster XRP’s position in the crypto market. However, some community members have raised doubts and sought clarification regarding the data presented in the screenshot.

Evernode, a layer 2 smart contract solution built on the XRP Ledger, recently provided an update on its launch. The platform has set a target date for November 27th and plans to conduct an airdrop for XRP investors holding a significant amount of Evers, Evernode’s native token.
A total of 5,160,960 Evers will be distributed to XRP holders with at least 50,000 XRP tokens in their Xahau wallets. Evernode has also made changes for the upcoming beta tester airdrop, including a 500 Evers registration fee and gifting full rewards to beta hosts during the launch.
