Matthew Mellon says $XRP enabled payments during Greece’s 2015 banking crisis

A resurfaced video clip has shed light on how XRP provided financial relief to Matthew Mellon, a notable banking heir and then-global ambassador for Ripple Labs, during Greece’s 2015 banking collapse. In the summer of 2015, Greece experienced a severe financial crisis as the country’s banks closed their doors, ATMs ran dry, and stringent capital controls disrupted the flow of money. Visitors and residents alike struggled to access cash, with both locals and tourists on the Greek islands forced to navigate the sudden loss of basic banking services.
