More To Come Between Jared Isaacman and Ripple?

Although the collaboration is no concrete signal of the SpaceX partner’s close links with Ripple, it remains to be seen if there is more to be uncovered. Elon Musk is popularly known for his tweets on Dogecoin and during the bull run in 2021, his tweets had a major impact on the crypto market. SpaceX and Tesla had added the Dogecoin payment option on their websites for sale of company merchandise.

Meanwhile, the XRP price continues to be on the sideways path after having declined to pre-Summary Judgment levels.
