Stellar vs. Ripple: The Battle for Cryptocurrency Dominance Continues

A recent exchange of opinions between Stellar and Ripple has added fuel to the ongoing rivalry within the cryptocurrency space. Notably, a prominent figure in the Stellar community, who goes by the name “Stellar Expert,” published a thread highlighting some key differences between the two blockchain platforms. The expert criticized Ripple’s latest move – developing an EVM-compatible sidechain.
