Garlinghouse cited the improving knowledge of other cryptocurrencies and their underlying platforms. "There's a very high correlation between the price of XRP and the price of Bitcoin, but ultimately these are independent open-sourced technologies. It's early, over time you'll see a more rational market and behaviors that reflect that," he said in an interview with CNBC. According to reports, Venezuela has banned the import of cryptocurrency-mining equipment, including hardware, graphics cards, and computers.
