He would go on to state a little known fact that he was once Ripple’s Chief Representative in China a few years back. tify">His full tweet was as follows:

tify">XRP surge shows PNC Bank’s recognition of the Ripple protocol. With Bill Clinton keynoting Swell 2018, blockchain is going mainstream! As Ripple’s Greater China Chief Rep from 2014-16 and a Ripple shareholder, I’m confident financial institutions will adopt blockchain. #TRON $TRX

tify">Justin Congratulates Ripple and Stefan Thomas tify">In a brief tweet, Justin Sun had earlier congratulated Ripple and its former CTO Stefan Thomas. He did not go on to elaborate the exact reason why he was congratulating them, but the following could be why:

• XRP surging in the markets
• Hints that xRapid would go live next month
• PNC Bank recognizing the Ripple protocol and its possibilities in the banking industry by simplifying cross border transactions through xCurrent
