Apple & Google Partner with XRP?

Did Apple and Google really endorse XRP, or did social media just run wild with a rumor? In this video I walk through how a simple fact — you can buy XRP using Apple Pay and Google Pay on certain apps — morphed into claims of an official partnership. We unpack Vincent Van Code’s myth-busting explanation, look at how these payment rails actually work, and revisit earlier integrations like Uphold and a popular XRP wallet to show why this isn’t the headline people think it is. From there, I shift the focus to what really matters: easier XRP access, smarter personal strategy, and better security. We talk about spreading risk across multiple exchanges, including a special Kraken promotion for XRP holders, and why “not your keys, not your coins” still rules. I explain how I use Ledger hardware wallets, why buying directly from the manufacturer is critical, and how our free educational Discord helps keep the community grounded when hype kicks off.
