Pierre Rochard asserts that Ripple undermines the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve due to its commitment to central bank digital currencies. He accuses Ripple of extensive lobbying against the SBR, claiming the company has allocated millions to influence U.S. Politicians to protect its interests.
In response, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse argues the company advocates for policies that could incorporate Bitcoin into strategic reserves. Despite this, Rochard insists that the SBR should consist solely of Bitcoin, opposing the inclusion of any other cryptocurrencies.
