Shawn Oroogle, a member of the World Economic Forum, recently raised questions about rumors suggesting a potential announcement regarding an alliance between XRP, Hedera (HBAR), and Goldman Sachs. While Shawn acknowledged that it was just a rumor and stated that he was “gathering more evidence,” he did not provide any concrete reasons to speculate. However, his tweet has sparked interest in the crypto community, especially among the XRP Army.
Many have expressed excitement that something “big” could be on the horizon for XRP. To fuel speculation, some have pointed to a past conversation between Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and Hedera co-founder Leemon Baird, in which they discussed potential blockchain collaboration. However, while Ripple and Hedera may have some connection, Goldman Sachs’ potential involvement in such a partnership remains unconfirmed at the time of writing.
Meanwhile, these speculations coincide with news that Goldman Sachs is pursuing new projects in the blockchain space. Bloomberg reported yesterday that Goldman Sachs Group is in talks with potential partners to spin off its digital asset platform into an independent entity. This new entity would focus on enabling large financial institutions to create, trade, and settle financial products using blockchain technology.
