Tether CEO seemingly criticizes Ripple for obstructing the Bitcoin strategic reserve plan, calling for community unity.

Odaily Planet Daily reported that Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino posted on X, stating: "I have publicly stated earlier than anyone else that the companies attacking Tether and the companies attacking Bitcoin belong to the same group. I believe that over the past few days, everyone has seen clearly who the puppet masters are (by the way, there are other companies as well). Tether loves and invests in Bitcoin and Bitcoin technology. Unity is strength."

Previously, Pierre Rochard, Vice President of Research at Riot Platforms, posted on X stating that the biggest obstacle to Bitcoin's strategic reserves is not the Federal Reserve, the Treasury, the banks, or Warren, but Ripple ($XRP). Ripple is actively lobbying against Bitcoin's strategic reserves and has invested millions of dollars to try to hinder this plan. Pierre concluded by stating: "During the Biden administration, Ripple also attacked the Bitcoin mining industry in this way. It is clear that they want to protect their market publicity and promote the rollout of CBDCs based on their network."
