Former Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke is bullish on blockchain.
Speaking at Ripple's Swell conference in Toronto today, being held the same week and in the same city as Sibos, the annual gathering hosted by Ripple's rival Swift, Bernanke told a room of several hundred attendees that he believes payments can be slow and expensive as designed using existing tools today.
Bernanke, who led the U.S. central bank during the 2008 financial crisis, outlined the complicated process it would take for a bank in Germany to send a payment to a bank in the U.S., before saying:

At Ripple's inaugural conference, it was all about the use case.
On day one of its much-anticipated Swell event in Toronto yesterday, panels largely centered on the distributed ledger company's existing clients and proofs-of-concept. There, representatives from Banco Santander and Siam Commercial Bank talked about how Ripple – and its XRP cryptocurrency – has provided a beneficial rail for cross-border payments.
Yet, the event was largely pessimistic about the value proposition of other cryptocurrencies (such as bitcoin and ether).

The ripple price plunged as Ripple’s much-anticipated fintech conference came and went without the major announcement that XRP investors were hoping for.
Two months ago, the ripple price spiked after Ripple previewed a major announcement.

XRP’s market cap surpassed $10 billion on May 15, 2017. It’s officially the first digital currency after Bitcoin (BTC) to break the double figure billion mark. It was only about two months ago, on April 2nd, that XRP wasn’t even worth $1 billion. Some think it’s a bubble that’s about to burst. But they might be very wrong.
