 <p>Buterin also responded to claims by XRP that Bitcoin and Ethereum were under Chinese control. He highlighted XRP’s attempt to position itself favorably to the U.S. government over Bitcoin and Ethereum due to alleged Chinese influence. Buterin pointed out that XRP had not retracted its previous communications advocating this perspective.</p> 
 <p>The Ethereum co-founder questioned whether XRP had issued an apology for urging US authorities to prioritize XRP over its peers based on the “China-controlled” narrative.
