- He noticed that the payment options included the well-known crypto payment processor BitPay, which initially had supported XRP as one of its accepted cryptocurrencies.
- However, Deaton revealed that following the SEC lawsuit against Ripple, BitPay stopped processing XRP transactions within the United States.
- Before the lawsuit, XRP was widely recognized as a cryptocurrency for efficient cross-border payments and transactions.
- In contrast, other cryptocurrencies like Dogecoin, created initially as a humorous take on the digital currency phenomenon, have taken on unexpected roles, such as being used for payments.
- Deaton’s tweet highlights the irony of the situation, where a cryptocurrency like Dogecoin, created as a meme, has found its way into payment systems. In contrast, XRP, a cryptocurrency designed specifically for payments, has faced setbacks due to regulatory challenges.
