Ripple launched the xRapid last October receiving wide-reaching acclaim and even causing a spike in the value of the coin. The company is in the news again as three crypto giants are reportedly set to adopt the international remittance service provided through the XRapid platform.
Three companies reported to be interested in the X-Rapid adoption are eToro, the asset trading and social investment platform, Binance, the crypto exchange giant and SBI virtual currencies, a subsidiary of SBI Holdings, the Japanese financial giant.
On-Demand Liquidity
The Ripple xRapid utilizes XRP to provide on-demand liquidity across the globe taking advantage of the Ripple platform’s high transaction speed and low cost to make remittance services cheaper.
The service was designed to comply with international regulations enabling banks, crypto exchanges and other financial service providers to adopt it easily. The XRP sent through Ripple xRapid is converted to fiat on receipt making it adaptive internationally.
