      Is BoA now using XRP for all internal transactions? I’m seeing a lot of noise about it in my network but I don’t know if it’s legit.

          I’ve seen this as well, but I don’t think (correct me anyone if I’m wrong) that BOA have confirmed it.

          This came from David Stryzewski, CEO of Sound Planning Group, during a FOX Business interview last week. I think he said the bank was conducting “100% of its internal transactions” using XRP and had filed 83 patents to do with Ripple’s tech.

          But he doesn’t work at BOA and I don’t think anyone there has officially confirmed it. Also given the SEC lawsuit against Ripple, this move would be a large shift in its approach to crypto.

          In aa nutshell: It’s unverified and jars with BOA’s historically conservative approach towards crypto so I’d be wary pal.

                This has done wonders to boost his profile 😂

                Caption confirms that it is, in fact, unconfirmed: “Official confirmation from Bank of America about using Ripple for all internal transactions is absent.”

                  Cheers for sharing. Interesting to hear his perspective, especially about talking to big crypto holders.

                  I’ve got to admit, I don’t know much about Stellar. It’s not really been on my radar. Do you get what he means by the tokenisation of buildings?

                    It’s basically part ownership of a building, but using blockchain/crypto (tokens) to buy your share instead of ‘real’ money.

                    Each token represents a fractional ownership stake in the property, which has the potential to make real estate investment more accessible to a broader range of investors.

                    This approach democratises property ownership by allowing individuals to invest smaller amounts rather than buying an entire property outright.

                    At the core of tokenisation is blockchain technology. Smart contracts—self-executing agreements coded on the blockchain—handle transactions, payouts, and compliance.

                    Investors can buy, sell, or trade tokens representing their share of the property on digital marketplaces, introducing liquidity to an otherwise illiquid asset class.

                    The benefits of tokenisation include greater accessibility for investors, global reach, and increased transparency in transactions.

                    However, challenges such as regulatory complexities and limited market adoption must be addressed to unlock its full potential.

                      I guess you still have the broader risks associated with crypto and of course the risk associated with investing in property, which has arguably become less attractive over in recent years.
