because Ripple =/= XRP
whenever you hear a news about some partnership between some company, banks, corporation,... and a cryptocurrency (in this case ripple) all they care about is the technology that they are using.
in this case these banks are interested in the blockchain technology and how Ripple is doing stuff so that they can make their own centralized system based on it.
fake news like this can shortly pump these altcoins but not every time and specially not when they are already in a big bubble and are getting dumped hard.
The focus here for these banks isn't the token but the blockchain technology. Ripple in my opinion is technically centralized and currently artificial and its value is driven by Ripple Lab news.. and Ripple lab does not put any onus on its clients to use the XRP token. So that begs the question,
what is the real value of XRP??nothing really!
XRP is a centralized token which is not even like other centralized altcoins. it is worse because the owners from Ripple Labs can simply take your money away from you as they did this once before!
like many other altcoins this is also a pure pump and dump thing which people make money from its pumps. that is all!
hey look i found the retard. please just go back to your shitcoin forum.
