After the presentation of new Apple products on September 9, publications appeared on social networks claiming that references to XRP were found in the company's code. The authors of the posts stated that in the future it would be possible to pay for Apple equipment with the Ripple cryptocurrency. Screenshots of the alleged source code, which included the name of the coin, were provided as evidence.
However, many users immediately doubted the authenticity of such materials. They pointed out numerous errors in the presented fragments, which would make the code inoperative. According to critics, the published screenshot looks more like a product of artificial intelligence created specifically to spread rumors.
It is worth noting that this is not the first time that talks about the potential integration of XRP into the Apple ecosystem have been held. Back in 2019, there were reports that the company was preparing to launch settlements in the Ripple cryptocurrency, and in 2024, similar “leaks” resurfaced online. However, until now, Apple has never officially confirmed such plans.
In addition to XRP, the Internet space also discusses speculations about adding other digital assets to the company's services, including XLM, HBAR, QNT, ADA, SOL and ETH. But here, too, no evidence has followed, and the messages themselves are considered more like speculation.
Additional attention was attracted by rumors that Apple is allegedly going to invest $ 1.5 billion in XRP. Such news quickly spread throughout the community, but was also not confirmed. Despite criticism and accusations of creating fakes, some crypto market enthusiasts took the messages seriously.
Similar stories accompany almost every Apple presentation. Thus, in 2024, the company's possible connections with the Render project were discussed, but the information again remained unconfirmed.
Meanwhile, the XRP cryptocurrency itself is showing growth. In early September, its price approached the $3 mark due to the interest of institutional investors. At the same time, the trading volume also increased, with a significant part of the purchases coming from large holders - the so-called "whales".
Thus, rumors about Apple's participation in the fate of XRP remain only part of the speculative agenda, fueled by the community against the backdrop of high-profile events and presentations.
