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

Ripple 首席执行官质疑 Meme 币的价值，并预测 SEC ETF 会获得批准

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 首席执行官布拉德·加林豪斯 (Brad Garlinghouse) 在 2024 年共识大会上批评了著名的模因币狗狗币，质疑其对加密行业的贡献。虽然加林豪斯并没有完全否认狗狗币，但他强调加密货币需要具有超越投机的实用性。

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.

这并不是加林豪斯第一次表达对狗狗币价值的担忧。一月份，他质疑埃隆·马斯克除了参与之外的目的。

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.

狗狗币联合创始人比利·马库斯认为，该币与比特币类似，但具有吉祥物和参数等独特功能。尽管缺乏明确的效用，狗狗币社区仍然保持支持，依靠其声誉和与马斯克的联系。

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.

加林豪斯的言论重新引发了争论。一些人将模因币视为教育工具，而另一些人则认为它们不专业，阻碍了加密货币的更广泛采用。

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.

加密货币爱好者继续猜测狗狗币有可能达到 1 美元。历史价格数据和市场趋势表明它可能会上涨 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.

除了对狗狗币的批评之外，加林豪斯还预测美国证券交易委员会 (SEC) 将批准各种山寨币的交易所交易基金 (ETF)，包括 XRP、Solana (SOL) 和 Cardano (ADA)。他相信这一批准是不可避免的，并将提高行业的可信度。
