<h2>Asheesh Birla Says Ripple in Talks With Central Banks For A Long Time</h2>
Asheesh Birla, RippleNet GM says that the speed of transaction of Ripple makes it a natural fit for the Central Bank Digital Currencies, CBDCs and said:

“I think you are going to see more and more central banks around the world realize some of these benefits. Again, it’s not gonna happen overnight. We wanna build and gain momentum.”

In accordance with Birla, Ripple is also in talks with the banks regarding other technologies.

Back in the month of March, Ripple was testing a new private version of the XRP Ledger, particularly designed to open CBDCs. 

In addition to this, Asheesh revealed his crypto holdings and stated:

“I’m super excited about a lot of different projects over the years, including Ripple, some web 3.0 projects, Filecoin, Ave, etc.”
