Apple Just Added Ripple (XRP) to iOS Stocks Application, Propy to Accept XRP as well
For many days there have been lively implications that Ripple is soon to partner up with Apple Inc, one of the biggest giants in the tech industry, which could possibly sky-rocket Ripple. All XRP holders and enthusiasts will be happy to know that, in a way, the popularly talked-about partnership has indeed come to life once again after having Apple integrating Ripple’s Interledger technology more than a month ago. Apparently, Apple decided to add XRP to their application for iOS especially designed for tracking stocks and stock exchanges. Prior to this news, it was announced that Ripple just got accepted by Propy Inc, which has added XRP as one of the available payment options for their users.
Apple Adds Ripple
Although Apple Inc. didn’t add Ripple as a payment method for all products in Apple Store, Ripple still managed to acquire a piece of the tech magnum, as Apple Inc. decided to add XRP to one of their applications.
Apparently, Ripple has just become a part of Apple family once again, as Apple added XRP as a payment method for their iOS Stocks App.
iOS Stocks is an application available in Apple store that allows users to track stocks as well as enabling stock exchanges, and as of today, Ripple has become one of the payment methods available on this application.
That is how after using the XRP ledger for updating Apple Pay, one of the first mobile payment applications, back in April, which brought into a question whether Apple will be getting back for XRP for yet another project, which occurred only a month later with the latest addition of XRP to the iOS Stocks app.
XRP has been added to the mentioned application by Apple alongside with 10 trading pairs, among which users are able to find EUR, USD and BTC alongside with JPY, CAD, GBP, ETH, and INR.
Hopefully, during the next month, Apple will find yet another use for Ripple, XRP and the technology behind this digital asset.
Propy Adds Ripple
Alongside with being added by Apple to their application iOS Stocks, Propy Inc, a prominent service that helps their users find a great property in the area of Silicon Valley, which is said to be offering the last big pieces of property that are available in this area.
The mentioned properties could have been purchased in BTC and ETH by far, as Propy previously added the two best cryptos in accordance with the global coin ranking list, and now the team behind this service has gone forward with adding XRP as well.
That means that XRP will now be available for Propy users, alongside with Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Ripple tweeted about this event, stating that the team behind XRP is happy to announce that Propy users will now be able to purchase their property with XRP units as of today.
It seems that this “global real-time settlement” is constantly under the spotlight of great news, especially when it comes to mass adoption.
How is Ripple doing at the Current Moment?
Although Ripple has been down by almost -2% only 8 hours prior to the time of this writing, we can see XRP rising up against the dollar at this moment while trading in the green.
You are probably presuming that XRP went up thanks to the latest announcement of having XRP being added by Apple and Propy to their applications for stocks and property trading; however, the latest rise in its price is actually a consequence of a revamped market.
Apparently, after having the majority of currencies trading on shaky legs for days, trading back and forth in the red then back in the green, we can now witness a smooth rebound as the market is trading in the green while the majority of currencies are going up against the dollar.
Whichever the case, Ripple has brought us great news during the course of a pretty brief time, so besides thriving in mass adoption, we can see it slowly rising back up against the dollar by 1.97%.
In addition to trading in the green against this fiat currency, XRP is also going up in oppose to BTC by 1.32%.
Following the latest change in the market, XRP can now be traded at the price of 0.62$ per one unit, hopefully heading closer to its record price of 3.65$ per one unit thanks to the Apple and Propy adoption of XRP.

Hong Kong, Hong Kong, 25th January, 2021, // ChainWire //
Xeno Holdings Limited (xno.live ), a blockchain solutions company based in Hong Kong, has announced the listing of its ecosystem utility token XNO on the ‘Bithumb Korea’ cryptocurrency exchange on January 21st 2021.
Xeno NFT Hub (market.xno.live ), developed by Xeno Holdings, enables easy minting of digital items into NFTs while also providing a marketplace where anyone can securely trade NFTs.
The Xeno NFT Hub project team includes former members of the technology project Yosemite X based in San Francisco and professionals such as Gabby Dizon who is a games industry expert and NFT space influencer based in Southeast Asia.
NFT(Non-Fungible Token) technology has recently gained huge focus in the blockchain arena and beyond, making waves in the online gaming sector, the art world, and the digital copyrights industry in recent years. The strongest feature of NFTs is that “NFTs are unique digital assets that cannot be replaced or forged”. Unlike fungible tokens such as Bitcoin or Ether, NFTs are not interchangeable for other tokens of the same type but instead each NFT has a unique value and specific information that cannot be replaced. This fact makes NFTs the perfect solution to record and prove ownership of digital and real-world items like works of art, game items, limited-edition collectibles, and more. One of the ways to have a successful…
2020 has been an incredible year for crypto as investors have generated windfall profits and crypto projects have seen their businesses gain the spotlight they’ve been looking for. While Bitcoin has received most of the attention after major institutional investors announced they were accumulating the increasingly scarce asset, many altcoins have also seen their fair share of glory. When looking at all the big winners of the past year, the first project that probably comes to mind is Chainlink, having appreciated by more than 550% YTD and now valued at over $4.5 billion. But, the actual biggest winner of the year is HEX with a YTD return of over 5,000%.
I mention both of the above projects as they have each taken slightly different paths to achieve greatness. Chainlink has devoted resources toward building a fundamentally sound business with many strategic partnerships while HEX has spent vast sums of money on marketing and promotion. Both approaches are valid, but one thing is certain, it is absolutely imperative for crypto projects to let the crypto community know what makes them special. Of course, one of the reasons that makes crypto so valuable is the powerful blockchain technology that most projects are utilizing.
Cryptocurrency vs. Blockchain Technology
It’s important to make a distinction between blockchain technology and cryptocurrency. Although they are often used interchangeably, they are different. Blockchain technology and crypto were both created after the 2008 financial crisis, but cryptocurrency…
