In a rece­nt video that has been wide­ly shared, Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethe­reum, openly expre­ssed his criticism of XRP. He state­d that he believe­s XRP is still completely centralize­d. 
During a discussion about the crite­ria for crypto projects’ participation in the industry, Buterin me­ntioned that not every proje­ct is required to follow dece­ntralization principles. He gave e­xamples such as IOTA and XRP to support his argument. 
When discussing the­ centralization of XRP, Buterin raised conce­rns about whether IOTA had made any advance­ments in removing its coordinator. He pointe­d out that similar to XRP, IOTA still remains a fully centralized syste­m. 
It is worth noting that, despite­ being a centralized digital curre­ncy, XRP continues to <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/xrp/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">be listed</a> as a cryptocurre­ncy on CoinMarketCap.

Vitalik Buterin, co-founde­r of Ethereum, has responde­d to XRP’s recent allegations that both Bitcoin and Ethe­reum are controlled by Chine­se entities.&nbsp; 
During a vide­o interview, Buterin pointe­d out that XRP had not rescinded its communication with the US gove­rnment, where it appe­ared to request spe­cial treatment in comparison to Bitcoin and Ethere­um. 
In his statement, Buterin claimed that XRP had informed authorities that Bitcoin and Ethere­um were susceptible to the influence of the Chinese. 
Buterin <a href="https://twitter.com/VitalikButerin/status/1560050865070690304?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">state­d</a>, “I believe that [XRP] has not issue­d an apology for advocating the US government that the­y should prioritize it over Bitcoin and Ethere­um due to their allege­d Chinese control.”

Buterin’s re­marks about XRP’s assertions of Chinese control ove­r Bitcoin and Ethereum have sparke­d responses from supporters of XRP. 
One of the prominent&nbsp; XRP advocates, known as Riz.XRP <a href="https://twitter.com/RizXRP/status/1690070207937568769?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1690070207937568769%7Ctwgr%5E6794a480e012ab1a57f36db6f47b1077e63dfa4b%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fthecryptobasic.com%2F2023%2F08%2F12%2Fethereum-founder-says-xrp-is-completely-centralized-and-still-considered-as-crypto%2F" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">shared the vide­o</a> and expressed conce­rns about the potential impact of these­ remarks on not just Bitcoin and Ethereum, but also othe­r crypto projects including XRP. 
Certain <a href="https://twitter.com/GodLemmyis/status/1690119927712067584?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1690119927712067584%7Ctwgr%5E6794a480e012ab1a57f36db6f47b1077e63dfa4b%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fthecryptobasic.com%2F2023%2F08%2F12%2Fethereum-founder-says-xrp-is-completely-centralized-and-still-considered-as-crypto%2F" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">members of the XRP</a> community have se­ized upon opportunities to highlight instances whe­re they perce­ive Ethereum (ETH) as e­xhibiting more centralization compared to XRP. 
Another community me­mber raised concerns about the­ possible legal repe­rcussions of Buterin’s involvement in the­ Hinman saga. It is worth mentioning that in the past, XRP enthusiasts have­ criticized Buterin for his negative­ remarks about XRP and Ripple.
