Cryptocurrency XRP is facing challenges and uncertainties amidst SEC lawsuits and changing geopolitical and monetary realities. XRP advocate JC Collins explains that these criticisms are not just attacks on Ripple or XRP, but a reevaluation of the global adoption assumptions. China, along with other BRICS nations, is challenging the dominance of financial institutions led by the US and advocating for a more multilateral world order. The Bank for International Settlements is developing its own unified ledger controlled by central banks, posing a direct challenge to Ripple. Geopolitical changes may lead to the alignment of BRICS+ reserve currency across central banks, signaling the end of the USD-based unipolar monetary system. The XRPL must evolve rapidly amidst these changes to thrive. Transparency concerns and the revolving door scenario may dissuade non-Western nations from partnering with Ripple. The future applications of XRP, whether as a retail investment or through institutional adoption, are uncertain.
