WeBlogs Founder Jason Calcanis, who also doubles as an angel investor with a large Twitter following, made controversial statements about the XRP cryptocurrency yesterday, calling it a security. Calcanis’ opinions of the native digital currency associated with the Ripple company caused a stir of reactions from the crypto community, earning responses from the likes of Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and pro-XRP lawyer John Deaton.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, Garlinghouse was featured as a keynote speaker at the Dubai 2023 Fintech Summit and used the platform to talk about the internal costs of the ongoing legal battle with the United States Securities Exchange Commission (SEC).<\/p>\n
