#Ripple nears completion (and revelation) of its #XRP-powered platform
Earlier this week, three exchanges, Bittrex, Bitso, and Coins.ph. partnered with Ripple (XRP) to foster their cross-border transactions for banks across the world. Ripple stated:
“These exchanges will allow xRapid payments to move from one cryptocurrency- into XRP- and back into another currency quickly and efficiently.” Now, with the aim of enhancing cross-border payments globally, Ripple has confirmed that it is all set to move to the production stage and unveil its xRapid payment platform for financial institutions.This new xRapid platform by Ripple will be powered by XRP to enhance transaction speed. It is important to know that during one of Ripple’s tests, it affirmed that banks saved up to 40-70 percent in costs for cross-border transactions. Ripple’s new platform will ensure this and more for crypto enthusiasts and financial institutions. Ripple and its team have done lots of tests for global transactions, and now the blockchain firm is set to move to the production part in the next month after being in the beta phase, according to Ripple’s chief, Cory Johnson. Johnson added that the company’s recent progress is important for xRapid and xCurrent.
