Cory Johnson, the Bloomberg Television anchor, developed marketing strategies for Ripple products among Wall Streeters. Also, he was responsible for clarifying the difference between Ripple and XRP.
“The role of Ripple as a company and XRP as a currency in financial markets, to regulators, financial institutions and investors could use more explaining.
