Teucrium CEO Sal Gilbertie has likened Ripple and its XRP ecosystem to financial giant JPMorgan, emphasizing Ripple's potential to compete with traditional banking institutions. Gilbertie praised Ripple's disciplined team and its focus on mainstream blockchain adoption, suggesting that Ripple's technology could rival JPMorgan's, which handles nearly $10 trillion in daily payments. He also mentioned Ripple's pursuit of a U.S. banking license as a move that could heighten competition. Despite the potential for XRP sales, Gilbertie believes Ripple has no immediate need to sell its holdings.
