Crypto Billionaire Matthew Mellon Explains How XRP Saved Him During A Banking Crisis

Crypto researcher SMQKE recently posted a clip on X that few people have seen. It shows Matthew Mellon, a banking heir and then-global ambassador for Ripple Labs , describing how XRP kept him financially functional during the 2015 Greek banking crisis. Mellon gave the account live on Fox Business, fresh off a Forbes cover appearance. In the summer of 2015, Greece’s financial system was failing in real time. Banks shut their doors. ATMs across Athens ran out of euros. Capital controls froze the movement of money for millions of people. Tourists on the Greek islands felt it too.
