- AX users claimed that Ripple and XRP are “not on the same level” as Solana.
- Mr. Solana responded with a series of institutional partnerships, references to ETFs, and reports from Franklin Templeton, Fidelity, and Citi.
Solana’s official XRP account began a brief exchange on Friday with an XRP supporter who claimed that Ripple and its XRP tokens are “not on the same level” as Solana.
“If anything!!! And I mean a company called Ripple and an asset called XRP are not at your level!!!,” said an XRP supporter, tagging Solana and Western Union, which has adopted Solana for its upcoming stablecoin rollout.
The comment appeared below a Ripple post promoting the upcoming Swell conference, which includes an organizing committee of executives from Citi, Franklin Templeton, and Fidelity.
“That’s right. It’s not at the same level,” Solana’s X account said, citing evidence of growing institutional traction, including support from Franklin Templeton, Citi and Fidelity, consolidation, and approval of the Spot Solana exchange-traded fund in the United States.
Earlier this week, Solana’s X account spotlighted Western Union’s decision to issue a stablecoin on Solana, drawing reactions from members of the Ripple community.
The announcement sparked debate among XRP supporters, as the former money transfer giant was considering Ripple’s blockchain technology and XRP for cross-border remittances and capital optimization.
