Solana dunks on XRP supporter after Ripple Swell promo draws comparisons

Solana's official X account engaged in a public debate with an XRP supporter who claimed that Ripple and XRP were "not on the same level" as Solana. This exchange occurred under a post promoting Ripple's upcoming Swell conference, which features panels with executives from major institutions like Citi, Franklin Templeton, and Fidelity. Solana responded by agreeing they were "not on the same level," subsequently listing evidence of its own growing institutional traction, including partnerships with Franklin Templeton, Citi, and Fidelity, as well as the approval of spot Solana exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the US. The initial context for the comparison arose after Western Union announced it would launch its stablecoin on the Solana blockchain, a move notable because Western Union had previously explored using Ripple's technology.
