The XRP community has voiced criticism towards major U.S. media outlets, accusing them of a 'blackout' on XRP coverage despite the asset's global traction. Prominent community member Digital Asset Investor specifically called out CNBC’s Squawk Box for neglecting XRP, contrasting this with German media like DER AKTIONÄR TV, which has been actively reporting on XRP’s price movements and Ripple’s partnerships. Despite these criticisms, U.S. media such as CNBC, Bloomberg, and Forbes have covered Ripple's institutional growth and market forecasts, including its evolution into a financial services company. The community remains divided on the impact of media coverage, with some suggesting that institutional adoption of XRP is progressing regardless of media attention.
