Some believe the Ledger is in the running. But so far, the central bank hasn\u2019t confirmed anything.<\/p>\n<p>It hasn\u2019t even committed to launching the digital euro yet. The European Parliament still needs to approve it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ripple.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Ripple<\/a>, the company tied to XRP, has held talks with central banks in countries like Palau and Georgia. They\u2019ve already launched pilot programs with Ripple\u2019s help. But that doesn\u2019t mean the ECB is next in line.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the lack of official backing, XRP fans are hopeful. Any involvement with a central bank brings a level of legitimacy. For some, it\u2019s exciting. For others, it\u2019s a red flag.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/FvGDKnOy\/\" width=\"2048\" height=\"960\"><\/p>\n<p>Supporters Push Back On Cardone\u2019s Claims<\/p>\n<p>Crypto influencers wasted no time hitting back at Cardone.
