A few short weeks after getting a follow from CTO David Schwartz, crypto-news startup XRP the Standard Productions received the rare and exciting honor of being followed by Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse on Twitter Friday.

“It's a proud day, indeed,” said Clay Finkelstein, Editor-In-Chief of the young but ambitious news outlet, “and it shows that even high-level blockchain industry leaders respect our hard-hitting, honest journalism.”

Amazing moment when Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse followed XRP the Standard Productions on Twitter.

Asked why he thinks the influential Silicon Valley leader would deem to follow the little-known news source, Finkelstein said it “must have something to do with quality recognizing quality.”

“Are we a bit green? Yes,” said Finkelstein. “But our journalism is top-notch. We're smart. We're attentive. Not much gets by us. Welcome aboard, Mr. Garlinghouse!”
