Hopefully the tests lead to production integration, they take time for big companies like Western Union especially when it comes to making sure whatever they're using is compliant to international regulations.

Great news regardless, even if it's coming from Bloomberg who'll inevitably try to spin it in a negative light since their investors hate cryptocurrencies.

>> No.7629428

Ripple and XRP are pretty much entirely separate from one another. Since XRP isn't tied to Ripples transaction functionality, it is worthless, and the only people buying it are people that believe it has something to do with Ripple.

When dumb money comes back and thinks banks will actually touch XRP, then maybe you get some gains. But XRP value is based entirely on greater fool theory and serves no actual function.

You might as well buy TRX.

Then why do MercuryFX and IDT use xRapid, which utilizes XRP?

https://ripple.com/insights/more-global-payment-providers-idt-and-mercuryfx-sign-up-to-use-xrp/

Obviously there are benefits to its use that are meaningful.

You're just being a close-minded idiot who won't acknowledge that you're wrong about XRP's long-term viability in regards to settlements and payment railways.

It's why SBI RIpple seeks to integrate XRP where it can in Japan, the CEO loves XRP (yes, XRP specifically, not just Ripple).

Adoption doesn't happen overnight, and XRP is already being used in ways that most other cryptocurrencies can only dream of.

Just wait until Ripple is sued and shut down because they made materially false statements and securities fraud. XRP ledgers will also be sued eventually if fraud or money laundering happens. This shitcoin is worth absolutely zero.

Business and finance, but it just takes doing some research.

Look into SBI Group (or SBI Holdings) in Japan. They're all about Ripple and XRP so much so that they've partnered with them to integrate Ripple's technology (and that includes xRapid, which is XRP) in Asia. The subsidiary is called SBI Ripple Asia, the same company that's partnered with ICX, another cryptocurrency in South Korea that's aiming at institutional integration and use with banks/financial services.

Ripple is more focused on cross-border remittance/settlements, but any transfer/payment railways can be benefited. Japan is a special example as their internal money transfer railways aren't as efficient as, say, the United States (ACH transfers, for example, although I'd critique that as not very efficient either).

SBI Group recognizes these deficiencies and sees the value in XRP integration. Japan will be much more open than the West at first, especially due to their Lost Decade(s) of economic stagnation. They will spearhead adoption, and we'll see that slowly move the West.

Don't believe the idiots that regurgitate copy pasta Ripple FUD.

People talk about how amazing crypto adoption is going to be, but then criticize Ripple pushing hard for adoption and integration of XRP saying it's useless. They don't realize that by saying that, they're essentially saying most cryptocurrencies won't ever be adopted by real companies.
