Opinions on XRP certainly diverge.<\/p>\n

Large parts of the Bitcoin ecosystem – with arguably good reasons – view Ripple as a long-running insider-enrichment scheme built on narratives that do not fully align with reality. At the same time, the \u201c#XRPArmy\u201d remains one of the most passionate tribes in crypto when it comes to investment cults.<\/p>\n

Add to that the enduring idea that XRP is what bankers and suits prefer – making it, in the eyes of much of the LinkedIn crowd, the presumed natural winner.<\/p>\n

The \u201cnobody is in charge\u201d<\/i> ethos of Bitcoin has never sat comfortably with large parts of the population. That is a market Ripple has targeted exceptionally well<\/i> for more than a decade.<\/p>\n

While we might have our personal opinions, we are also rather agnostic as a business when it comes to what type of transfer mechanism people prefer to move value.<\/p>\n

We are in a marketplace, after all – and the more compelling and competitive tooling will win.<\/p>\n

Now, what changed on the BitcoinVN side?<\/p>\n

BitcoinVN – Q2\/2026 – XRP infrastructure upgrade<\/h2>\n

To provide the best and most reliable service to our clients, we generally aim to move as much critical infrastructure in-house as possible.<\/p>\n

This allows us to be one of the fastest swap engines on the market – powering a wide range of integration partners<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As we are in the process of bringing a variety of second-tier blockchains and ledgers into our in-house infrastructure, the month of April saw a significant upgrade to our XRP infrastructure.<\/p>\n
