Ripple CEO Questions Value of Meme Coins, Predicts SEC ETF Approval

Ripple 執行長質疑 Meme 幣的價值，並預測 SEC ETF 會獲得批准

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse criticized Dogecoin, the prominent meme coin, at Consensus 2024, questioning its contribution to the crypto industry. While not dismissing Dogecoin entirely, Garlinghouse emphasized the need for cryptocurrencies to have utility beyond speculation.

Ripple 執行長 Brad Garlinghouse 在 2024 年共識大會上批評了著名的迷因幣狗狗幣，質疑其對加密產業的貢獻。雖然加林豪斯並沒有完全否認狗狗幣，但他強調加密貨幣需要具有超越投機的實用性。

This is not the first time Garlinghouse has expressed concerns about Dogecoin's value. In January, he questioned its purpose apart from Elon Musk's involvement.

這並不是加林豪斯第一次表達對狗狗幣價值的擔憂。一月份，他質疑伊隆馬斯克除了參與之外的目的。

Dogecoin co-founder Billy Markus maintains that the coin is similar to Bitcoin, but with unique features like its mascot and parameters. The Dogecoin community has remained supportive despite the lack of clear utility, relying on its fame and association with Musk.

狗狗幣聯合創始人比利馬庫斯認為，該幣與比特幣類似，但具有吉祥物和參數等獨特功能。儘管缺乏明確的效用，狗狗幣社群仍然保持支持，依靠其聲譽和與馬斯克的聯繫。

Garlinghouse's comments have reignited the debate. Some see meme coins as educational tools, while others view them as unprofessional and hindering the wider adoption of cryptocurrencies.

加林豪斯的言論重新引發了爭論。有些人將迷因幣視為教育工具，而有些人則認為它們不專業，阻礙了加密貨幣的更廣泛採用。

Crypto enthusiasts continue to speculate on the potential of Dogecoin to reach $1. Historical price data and market trends suggest it could have a 5x increase.

加密貨幣愛好者繼續猜測狗狗幣有可能達到 1 美元。歷史價格數據和市場趨勢表明它可能會上漲 5 倍。

In addition to his Dogecoin critique, Garlinghouse predicted the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will approve exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for various altcoins, including XRP, Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA). He believes this approval is inevitable and will enhance the industry's credibility.

除了對狗幣的批評之外，加林豪斯還預測美國證券交易委員會(SEC) 將批准各種山寨幣的交易所交易基金(ETF)，包括XRP、Solana (SOL) 和Cardano (ADA) 。他相信這項批准是不可避免的，並將提高行業的可信度。
